Question about the Spydercos Aqua Salt Fixed Blade Dive Knife ~

[쌍칼잡이]

Hello. I wanted to ask how some of you sharpen your Aqua Salt Fixed Blade Dive Knife (using the Spyderco Sharpmaker). Because I seem to not be able to get a clean sharp edge of mine.
I use 20 degree angle per side of the blade, applying 10 strokes each side 4 times (the 4 step process using the two stock rods which came with the sharpmaker). You see, I apply the same amount of strokes on my other knives and get great results. But my Aqua Salt Fixed Blade Dive Knife seem to not achieve as good of edge.
Should I try the 15 degree angle per side, instead of the 20 degrees?
Maybe I need to apply more strokes? Any tip will be appreciated.

This is the only knife that I own with the H1 steel blade. Initially, I felt the stock edge it came with was just fine... as I only used the ceramic rods to touch up the edge. But over time, I wanted to achieve a sharper edge, and this is when I started to notice that I am not beng able to achieve very sharp edge (even used the coarse metal rod). Any input? Thank you in advance~

Update: I see what I was doing wrong. I guess I wasn't applying as many strokes. Added strokes resulted in better edge. I guess I was over analysing it~

No other Aqua Salt owners had such similar issues?

Thanks for reaching out~ I will add you to the 카톡, even though I rarely use it these days other than to converse with my fellow game members from Korea. By the way, I figured our that added amount of strokes gave me better results. I was more interested on hearing others views and thoughts about the Aqua Salt. It seems like it's one of less talked about knives from Spyderco (other than people saying how awsome it is). From my assumption, you must be Korean as well. Did you live or frequent the States ( America) often?
