There CAN be. The diamond plate can leave deeper scratches that translate to deeper teeth in the edge. This can be reduced by finishing on the plate with progressively lighter strokes and then more time on the next hone in the progression. However, there is a belief that it might lead to a more compromised edge. I have not explored that enough to formulate much of an opinion but I have doubts, as long as it is done right.
