Thanks, Redheads…this is extremely helpful…especially the photos of the progress on the progression of the edge for different grits.  I have been using a USB Microscope but, to be perfectly honest, I have been struggling with exactly what to look for so this now gives me a great measuring stick.

I really appreciate the advice and reassurance…it sounds like I am on the right path and need to keep plodding along to let the stones break in, improving my technique and learning more about the different knives / steel.

Many, many thanks!

Thanks, Airscapes…very helpful information especially the video showing different strokes to help get an edge.  I will continue to experiment and try to have a little more patience with getting the stones broken in!

Thanks to all for the additional info on the problem and potential solutions.  It seems like the WE original design is not the best and a mod / longer term solution is necessary (especially since I am already frustrated by this problem).  I will research further and reach out to one of the forum members for a mod solution.  Many thanks!
