Thread: Hello and request for help

Thanks, Ed. I think I may have been using too much pressure on the lapping. And yes, I think the "fixing stone" was leaving behind grit. Thanks to cudarunner's good advice (and Cris below), I just ordered a DMT stone. Also -- good to know about the flex of the blade. I hadn't thought of that. Hearing a consensus here and elsewhere that less is more in terms of pressure. I think I've made the rookie mistake of trying to hard and pressing the edge off my blade. I'll keep trying.
