Got a new back pocket the other day. The factory edge was okay. I sharpened it until it would cut a hanging hair with a little swipe, but it jut wasn't hair whittling. Well that bugged me so this afternoon I decided to stop it. I very gently stopped it on chromium oxide about 30 strokes per side and I mean light strokes. Pulled out some yellow pages that it was push cutting fine before expecting light saber cuts.
wrong the edge was totally wrecked. I don't get it, I was careful to keep the angle and used light strokes. I had to go back to the stones to get it back. I looked at it with a 30X loupe and it didn't look rounded and there was no wire edge. Oh the mystery of steel and me! Discuss please
