I feel it on Naniwa stones.

I look forward to this discussion. It is so much better in person, I'll bring my dry board.:)

No need to keep the picture. Just keep looking at edges that you hone and then go shave.

I see what your talking about on the edge, as if it is rounded over a bit. Hard to say what it really is. Try positioning you light 'edge on' the way I do. If you don't remember this, I'll show you...

On my screen your bevel shows at 3/4" so divided by .5mm [.02"] that's about 40x.

I don't think that magnification power really works that way, but that's how I think.

Just took a look at...

Just because you can see a distraction with high magnification, doesn't mean that you have to take it out. I prefer to see as much as I can in a reasonable amount of time and decide what I may just...

It's hard for me to say without knowing the magnification, but I think I would go to 3k to get a more uniform scratch pattern. It should not take much time now.

How wide is the bevel unmagnified?...

I think that you are looking at the blade up side down Tc. Those pits are at the back of the bevel and should cause no problem.

I guess that I'll be the contrarian here. Not that I doubt anyone else's experience, but the only time I've experienced what may have been over honing and poor edge retention was with a slow cutting...
