I will report this as well: I have some home made strop bases for the different abrasives mentioned earlier. The felt that I was using on the paddle with the diamond sprays is too soft after all,...

Yeah, but the edge is not what I would expect from the descriptions of others on the 1k, 6k and 12k levels. It is after stropping that the edge starts performing which is tells me that I haven't...

Sorry Neil, I didn't bring that out earlier but after the 6k king I have a 12k naniwa to go and then a 1um diamond, 0.25um diamond and 0.5crox to finish things off. Then its off to the linen and...

I managed to put an edge on the dovo. Jay! BUT, it is still not I want. The 6k king keeps killing me and once the naniwa ss 3k/8k compo arrives I will try a pyramid to see if that helps.

Ok I made a video of the honing. See if those help you to help me :)

Well I had not taken the dovo down to the dmt 600 before, this morning i did. Actually the edge seemed rather smooth under the scope. The scratch marks are much smaller than the chips and other...

I think that the jaggedness is so large that no amount of drawing against glass will remove it, but i will check once i get home. IIRC the glass does affect the very edge of the edge but the chips...

Ok, I think I am catching on. Still not good bevel set but learning all the time. My problem might be that I am doing too much and too unevenly. Frustrated by the failures - I decided to ditch the...

You are right, the spine is not even and it is pretty obvious. The middle of the spine is narrower than the heel or the toe. I guess not using tape might flatten that out a bit, but with my...

Thanks, for the replies. This really is a great forum, I hope I can some time also contribute and help others. Taking pictures of edges is challenging and the varying light (like in the above) angle...

Here are some pictures I tried to take with a 60x and a camera. Could be better pictures but they have to suffice for now. The scale is millimeters.

I am new to honing, but I have been trying to read up, search and practice on various stones and razors.

My problem is the difficulty of bevel setting. Seems utterly impossible to pass TNT and...
