I seem to have developed a burr on my P-Millie in S30V. I tryed quickly to reduce it last night, without much luck. I am thinking of taping a dmt blue stone to one of my spyderco rods to make a go at reducing it, any other recommendations?
 
Find Jeff Clark's post on burr removal. (If I find it, I'll add it here). Basically, you make a few alternating strokes at a higher angle to deburr. If you're using the Sharpmaker, he rotates the knife out so that it matches the angle of the opposite rod, then makes a light stroke. Once the burr is removed, he then makes a few final strokes at the original angle to clean up the edge. Going to a more coarse stone, isn't the answer.

Added: I can't find it, I'm sure someone else will have it... I did find where someone else described it a little better...

You'll need to get to the third page of this thread before you find my standard deburring approach. This topic evolved to some deep trouble-shooting of problems with various edges. My first recommendation was the killer approach for a really bad burr. You have to interpret my first comments in that light. I sort of reduce my recommendation further down the thread. I assumed the original poster was fighting a bad mutha. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=355227

I would not expect S30V to be much inclined to forming a burr. It is a hard alloy with a controlled smallish carbide size. In general I would do most of my work on S30V using diamond hones. My final deburr would be just a few very light edge-forwards honing strokes at about a 5 or 10 degree elevated angle relative to what I used for most of my honing. You can do this by tilting your hone slightly from its normal attitude for example. Then I go back and do a little more honing at my normal angle to remove any residual shoulder left by my deburring process.
