How to do micro-bevel on mirror polished knives?
Secondary bevel at 18° per side:
Few lessons learned from my side would be probably:
P.S. I have posted the same post in few other places (specifically Edge Snobs Facebook and Wicked Edge forum) to gather more feedback on this topic, so if you have seen this somewhere else and looking to answer - you can comment anywhere you like.
P.P.S I read previous thread on this topic which had a lot's of great replies: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/microbevels.634739/
- Finish the whole progression on a secondary bevel and then start with micro-bevel?
- Once micro-bevel is done - do I return for secondary bevel touch-up?
- What is the recommended starting grit for micro-bevel? How far I polish micro-bevel? Same level as secondary or stop earlier to avoid getting to mirror?
Secondary bevel at 18° per side:
- Diamond 200➜600➜800➜1000➜1500➜2200➜3000
- Ceramic 1.4 μm ➜ 0.6 μm
- Diamond Lapping Film 9 μm ➜ 3 μm ➜ 1.5 μm ➜ 0.1 μm
- Diamond 3000
- Diamond Lapping Film 9 μm
Few lessons learned from my side would be probably:
- Less pressure when going through progression to avoid deep scratches
- More careful when applying micro-bevel to make even micro-bevel
