Thanked: 4822The pretense of my previous post is that I am under the assumption that you have damaged your edge while stropping. Seeing as how we are talking about the very edge you are likely better off starting with Grazors advice. Starting high will preserve more metal. If you do two sets of ten laps and you cannot see the fuzz disappearing then drop to the next highest grit hone and then once they are gone start back up.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Thanked: 1Got it Rezdog :-). I am happy with results too!!!! I used a 3k Naniwa and did 20 circles with pressure followed by 20 with pressure x-strokes then went to 8 k did 40 circles ( weight of blade only ) followed by ten x-strokes ( weight only ) then did 10 x-strokes on 12k Naniwa and now bevel is smooth and no more jagged edge ( yay ). Thanks all you fine gents on here you are all the best.

Thanked: 3215If you had micro-chip, fuzz, a 12k super stone can easily take them out.
Put one layer of tape on the spine and do 1 set of 20 circles on each side and 20 X laps with weight of the blade pressure.
Look at the edge straight down to see if there are any shiny spots, If not strop on linen 20 laps with very lite pressure and 50 on leather with lite pressure. Excessive pressure probably caused your mico-chipping.
If there are shiny spots, do another set of 20 circles and X laps.
The 12K super stone is a very aggressive stone, take a look at this thread taking a razor from breadknife to shave in 80 circles and 206 laps.
Here.

This was a great question and for someone else in the process of learning honing quite valuable!

Thanked: 3215It is either where the bevels are not meeting, a chip or rolled edge.
Looking straight down on the edge and turn the blade a few degrees either direction, the light will reflect where the bevels are not meeting, no matter how small.

Oh I see..
I was referring to some thing els.. One of my blades the toe end dosnt seem to hit the finer hones so I add a little pressure or do what I can to get that tip on the hone.
That normally leaves bits that reflect light on the very edge, under the microscope its just a shiny spot .
