Is there something specific in the process that I'm doing, that you feel is leading to unrecoverable damage to the edge? I'd like to hear what and why, so that I can consider take actions to prevent that. I surely don't want to damage the blade needlessly, but none of the blades I have are considered too valuable to lose (I don't have any with sentimental value, or that are expensive/fancy).
