Thread: Question for DMT users

If there is one part of the blade that seems sharper than the other, it either has a wire edge forming or the rest of the blade doesn't have a proper bevel set.

Can you see any reflection of light along the very edge when the edge is facing you (with a bright light nearby)?

If it's at the "sharper" area, that's the wire edge reflecting the light, you should move on to a higher grit, and do a little backhoning to remove the burr. If it's at any point along the rest of the blade, then there is a flat spot reflecting light and you should continue setting the bevel until the entire blade is a uniform sharpness.
