So now the next logical question to me is, what causes micro-chips? I have a few blades that I cannot seem to sharpen because they continue to chip. I try to be very delicate with them and use Spyderco fine and ultra fine once I get the bevel, but often I'll get them almost to HHT then when I look at them under X100 power I see the edge has chips all up and down it.
