Thanked: 3215A while back I was removing some chips on a couple of razors and used a 600 and 1200 DMT to do so and bevel set both edges with the DMT’s. I could not get the edged even with the 1k on both razors the edges kept micro chipping.
I suspect the DMT leaves too deep stria and a ragged week edge that will continue to chip on finer stones.
I jointed the edge on the corner of the 1K about 2-3 strokes then re-set the bevel. It may take you 2 or 3 times to get down to good steel.
Now, if using the DMT to re set a bevel I get the bevel flat and the edges close but leaving a thin sliver of steel before the bevels meet. Then complete the bevels until they meet with the 1K.
