Sharpened my 2nd kitchen knife at 17° today and getting better results. The edge wasn’t as “toothy” but I still think I need to invest in higher grit stones plus lapping film/strops. Though I’m not entirely satisfied with my 2nd knife it still passed the paper test easily.
I’m wanting to get that smooth hair shaving edge on a kitchen knife before I attempted to cut into my 20cv steel blades.
