Hey guys!

I have Misono Gyoto 21". As everyone knows they are crazy damn sharp...In the time when I started to sharpen it for a first few times I wasn't educated enough about sharpening...70/30 bevels...Misono steel and etc...So, that time I even tried to set 50/50 bevel instead of manufacturers one... because i couldn't make proper sharpening... Of course, it didnt work well and I give up for a year... plus I started to use another knife by Kasumi...
So, now.. I became interested how to fix my Misono finally...I know and I fully understand that I probably damaged it a lot but still...
I was using #1500 and #3000 stones for that..but I even couldn't create a burr..even with a more pressure and higher angle...Also, I can feel that my blade has some curved part..For now I have only idea to take #300 stone and to clean/remove all my work I've done before...I know that I was stupid to practice sharpening Misono without experience..but now it's too late...anyway..

Unfortunately, I cannot attached a photo to show more but I would be happy to hear what you think about it.
 
I doubt you took off enough metal to seriously damage the knife with a 1500 grit stone. But you will likely need to reset the bevels with a coarse stone, like you’re suggesting. I use a naniwa 400 for this, so I’m sure your 300 is coarse enough.

But before you get to work, make sure you know how to set bevels with that stone! You can take off a fair amount of metal with it.

Thank you!!
I will try to do that with my #300..I just really a bit worried to set bevels properly cause it's not gonna be normal 50/50...
Do you have maybe any suggestions or resources how to don't destroy more ?Or just to start from the few strokes on each sides..?
