Hi thanks for answering me, maybe I can get some advise from you..
I think the edge was fragile and I know how such a thing came to pass
I set the bevel on the 1k/5k and it was sticky sharp.
Then did some strokes on the 8k .
At this point the edge and whole bevel was perfect under the scope .
Then I took it to the 16k for 10 laps each way no pressure.
After this I checked under the scope and there was clearly a section where the 16k had not reached the edge of the blade. It was kinda fuzzy.
So I went on to do a load more stokes adding pressure from my finger and so on.
Eventually I did some X strokes , the kind where you swish the blade across the stone making like a curvy X .
This worked and the fuzzy section was now in line with the rest of the bevel.
However all those extra strokes probably gave me a bit of a wire edge.
My question is whats the deal with the not getting to the edge on the 16k?
I use my Atoma 1200 on my Shaptons after every honing session so im sure the stone is flat.
Many thanks...
