I’m questioning the method or need for deburring with the WEPS.
I had been reading about the importance of deburring on some of the knife forums.
Always wishing to improve I got the felt pads and saved some cork from wine bottles and had at it.
I don’t think I’ve improved my edges, in fact I think they may be less sharp than before.
Any one have experience with this?
I’ve been cutting into the felt and cork while still clamped, moving the felt or cork instead of the knife.
Should I skip the deburring with the WEPS?

There is no need to deburr the knife. The burr will be gradually whittled away by the alternating strokes. At a very fine, microscopic level, there will still be a wire edge present, but it will minute and properly aligned.
