Sharpening final edge

[TooQuiet]

Now I've never sharpened a blade that had no bevel. When I sharpen a factory knife it's until I get a burr on the opposite side, then I switch sides. Is it the same when establishing a bevel on an unsharpened blade?

Right

Keep the apex of your edge on center. As it comes to an apex a burr will form on one side. Do the other side and form a burr. Then step up the grit finer and finer working the burr on both sides until you get where you want and strop off the burr.

It will pop hair at that point.
