I'm not a fan of microbevels myself. I tried this three years ago when I first got my Shapton 15k Pro hone, and discovered that microbevels didn't give me anything that a pasted hanging strop...

Glad to hear it. It's happened to me before, which is why I suggested the possibility of a burr. Stropping on plain leather isn't necessarily enough to remove a burr, not even stropping on linen...

Are you sure that it's microchipping and not the raggedness of a burr? If you lightly run it across a toothpick or wine cork does it change or stay the same?
