So one more simple question as if I knew nothing and had no equipment except

Loupe
Old razor taped properly with no bubbles
1000 grit ceramic stone, little water
Time �� and patience

Maybe I’m missing something in all the piles of videos along the way

This above is ALL that’s needed to set the edge right? We don’t progress up the 3k for example yet. This blade hums on the 1k now. It didn’t when I started. I don’t see consistent scratches and no extra. It looks like a perfect triangle. I’ll keep going because it’s not as pretty at the outer edge.

Continue this step for hours? Hundreds of strokes? This is where I’m lost. That’s a lot of metal removal

Oh yeah, my stones lapped ok. Just a few scrubs and the pencil marks were gone. Edges are eased.

And thanks for patient guidance

You have the right idea,

What you need to figure out is YOUR bevel set Go-NoGo test

There are quite a few
They don't all work for everybnody so use them all until you get the outcome you need

TNT
TPT
4 -Finger test
AHT

Cutting stuff tests I don't use but some do
HHT

Figure out which one works for YOU everytime, not what other people tell you works for them
