Thread: Advice/Suggestions Needed--Losing Bevel After Initial Setting

After you have the bevel set to your satisfaction, take a felt pen a ink the bevel before going to the next hone. Do a few strokes on the next hone and inspect the bevel with your loupe to see if you are getting all the way from the bevel shoulder to the edge. If you are not then possibly you are using too much pressure and flexing the blade just enough to lift the edge and hone more on the shoulder of the bevel. The more hollow the grind the less pressure is desired because of how awful easy it is to flex the blade.
