I did 5 laps on the dried slurry but my blade was scraping up the dried slurry. I'm thinking that cant be good for the edge.


Probably i started off with too much slurry, damn.
The blade is keen but i have to wait until next weekend to try it out


And there is the "Trick" if you are lifting dust you did something wrong or it won't work on your stone


What kind of slurry ???
It needs to be a light slurry and well worked and broken down
I have never even attempted this with anything but slurry off the stone only, Nagura slurry hasn't ever worked for me doing this technique
The strokes have to be so smooth and light that you don't pick up dust on the edge

If you feel you are doing everything right and it is still picking up dust then it is not going to work with your stone

This technique isn't easy..
