Hi SRP folks,

recently i had a blade which was in good condition and needed to restore it. yesterday i spent almost 6h for clean and hone it.

i started with 10 passes on a DMT for delete the chips in the bevel. after this, 150 passes on a 1k. Well this is the 1st time i see, a blade keep the tiny chips in the bevel. I returned on DMT and more passe to have a bevel correct. they are still there. One more time on DMT but i put it 90° and deleted the bevel to restart all. Then i put the blade on the stone (not 90°) and start to hone it on 1k. Well this time there is no chips in the bevel but it doesn't cut even the arm hairs. I go back on DMT 20 passes and here we are, i see tiny chips again in the bevel. i spent 5 hours with this.

Second time; and i put the blade on stone with 90° and get a clean bevel. Then 1k and 300 passes; nothing! i just wanted to see if it will be better with finer stones. so i tried a 2-3k; result is nothing. then 5k; still nothing. than coticule; as you guess, nothing.

I'm hopeless. Do you have any i idea what's wrong? did you ever had a similar blade? how did you get over these chips?

Here a pic of the blade after all these processus;
