Hi guys, when I buy a knife, it's pretty sharp, but it has deep scratches on the edge. When I sharpen my knives, they're much smoother, but also more dull than the purchased knives. I'm having a problem with getting my knives paper-cutting sharp. I start with low grit, 30 strokes per side, move up to 1000 grit with 90 per side and so on. I'm getting a decent sized burr and successfully removing it before moving onto the next grit. Can someone help me figure out why my edge is smoother but it's still duller?

Thanks guys,

Bo

I don't know if you have heard of the advertisments for gum way back in the day by the "Double Mint Twins".
The slogan was : double your pleasure double your fun !
Or some thing like that.
 
If you buy a blender from TV Shopping channel, you get another one free.
Everybody needs two blenders at home, right?
 
When you turn away "free" help, it becomes difficult for anyone to take you serious any more in the future.

One to "render that frozen concoction that helps me hang on" (Jimmy Buffett) . . . and one to puree the ingredients for dinner, desert, chop nuts . . . well you get the idea.

LOL some of. Yiu guys get upset easy! The reason I made two threads is I couldn't find the other one and it's not emailing me that people replied. I'm having a hard time remembering my way around the site. To everyone that's not upset that I made 2 threads, do you have any ideas? Thanks!
 
OK wowbagger, I guess you don't have any advice lol. Well that's ok. I figured it out myself. This site has always had more trolls than people who have a clue. Thanks anyways lol.

When you see BLUE letters, words, lines of text THAT ARE BLUE here OR ABOUT ANY SPOT ON LINE that often means you are looking at a link .

The link I left for you yesterday . . . this link I am talking about now . . . will take you to your original thread that you started first.

Put your arrow on THE BLUE text above where I have added the word link.
Not . . . on the word link but on the blue line of text.

CLICK ON THE LINK

Don't throw around the term troll when you are THIS GREEN at using the internet and getting around in a simple chat room.
Please.
