What stones are you using? I like the stock ones for common steels, but they struggle with some of my harder steeled blades
The 120, 220 and 400 are aftermarket "moldmaster" silicon carbide stones from Congress tool. The others are the stock EP stones. The stock 220 and 400 grit stones are aluminum oxide so the SiC is a definite step up. I think diamond stones are your best bet when dealing with high carbide steels though
