Is yours a recently made one ?
I've honed a dozen or so & not one could I have started on a 6k. A lot of them start on the grinder tho the last one I did started ok on 1k. They all finally shaved well but a lot of work to get there. Still have geometry issues AFAIC.
Have had a couple come back for rehoning@ acceptable intervals 6-8 months.
