Breadknifing is in the Wiki as a tool for restoring badly damaged edges, not removing invisible chips

Seriously ??? You said the chip was invisible to the naked eye. When I read that I thought even 1k may have been overkill. I'm almost thinking your honing was not reaching the edge for some reason, like a warp etc...
Shame you couldn't have taken a pic to give us an idea of the size.

Just to give you a point of reference I removed chips from a Henkels 5/8 Inox with a 1k Shapton Pro in 5-6 minutes of normal honing. Some of the chips were the full depth of the original bevel.
