Understand I think Leo.
But the way I’m seeing it is you developing your edge at 16 first, but that primary at 20 then never gets a bur, know what I mean?
Ex: In Clay’s vid, he burs to 17 and goes through the stones.
Then he jumps to the 20 to bur, with only I think the 1000s or ceramics. That gives the edge it new cutting edge at 20. I picture just a double bevel, one at 17 then the cutter at 20. That 20 I play with lightly to 1600, and even give it a few strops to define the edge.
Then I step down like Clay about 10 light strokes, depending on the metal, at 19 and 18, with neither going to bur.
I feel and mico-view to be sure.
Now I got a semi bullet.
Then I go 17 and round it out with strops and polish.
Occasionally I may go back to the 20 for a bit more polish hoping to keep the 20 edge scary sharp.
I feel this way the original height of the 17 is not changed much, see what I’m saying? Its more like a rifle bullet.
What I’m wondering is if I go from 17 bur, 18 light bur, 19 light bur, 20 light bur refined … then back to 17 stropped to roll the edges together, I’m guessing I’m gonna get a shorter height, stronger shoulders, a more accurate roll to 20, but maybe not as sharp, or maybe even sharper if I stay on the 20 lightly with say a 1600 ceramic (Highest I have right now until I can get the Shaptons)
Am I making sense?
