Hey guys. I’ve noticed cutting down cardboard and thicker packing tape for a day the edge on my Damascus 21 dulls a bit. I can see the shine in the light on the edge. I notice the first cut is great but after that it needs the tip pushed through to a fresh part of the blade. I sharpen at 20 degrees on a wicked edge and have no issues with any other knives on that system. The edge is being sharpened and no burrs. Is it just a caveat of this steel? I LOVE the knife. Yes, I do strop it but thought it would last longer between stropping .
