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.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”
