I recently got a DMT Diafold Magna Guide and i am not getting that good of results with.
I start the the coarsest stone and the 5th setting. I am trying to reprofile the knife so i move the stone until i get a burr along the whole edge of the knife. Then i switch and do it to the other side. Then i move up in grits all the way to the finest. Then i do very light passes on a strop to remove the final burr and i know i did because i use jewelers loupe. I have used the stones on a few knives so for the most part they are worn in. People show me and they get great edges with this system and i dont know what i am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
