The bigger particles can scratch the bevel and maybe even dent or chip it. Not saying not to do it but there are other ways that are less destructive imo. Nagura and tomo nagura slurries are much finer. And the more you set the edge back , the more work you have to do to get back to pre dmt slurry.
