    Trying going on the 4k and try Lynn's '40 circles' i am assuming you have some kind of beveal left on the thing if it was shave ready at one time. The video is on the home page under Lynn Honing on the right side bar. Once you try that you will either start to see the blade getting a sharper edge or the thing will be as 'bread knife' as ever. If the latter is the case send it out to get honed, buy some cheap vintage SRs and hone them to the bone till you get it right! If the blade is sarpening up you prob have alright technique, continue with X strokes then progress to the 8K. Let me know.
