Thread: Bread knife to setting a bevel on a 4k

What would be the progression for setting a bevel on a 4k? I had to bread knife a DD gold edge I purchased earlier this year and am finally trying to get it cleaned up and honed. This would be my 5th razor honing and I don't seem to be making any progress on this one, stones are flat, I definitely have a nice even edge established but nothing I would consider sharp, (can't cut arm hair). This is after 5 hrs. with taped spine (1 layer electrical tape). I know setting a bevel with the 4k is probably not Ideal, I see a 1k in my distant future, but for now I'm stuck with the 4k/8k Norton, Chinese 12k. A little direction would be much appreciated! Or should I just continue, with what I'm doing? Thanks!
