I was inspecting with a loupe often. With that being said it’s a cheap one and after useing it more and more I am learning what to look for. On that particular knife I wasn’t checking the angle with the angle cube during paddle change so it’s very very possible I wasnt hitting the entire apex even tho it looked like it threw my untrained eyes. As for the burr do y’all get a good burr formed that with stop your nail if u run it up it or just enough to feel a slight burr? A knife I did last night I just did matched the prior angle and noticed I could raise a really good burr as where the other knife I could just barely feel the burr. I did notice there is slight variance from paddle to paddle Whitichen a higher grit would mean one might have to work longer to reach the apex.

I haven’t figured out what was wrong yet. I sharpened a different knife last night and went down to the 1500 again. This knife came out pretty sharp. I will get that knife back out to day and inspect it and try it again. I have an esse 4 that I am ready to do. It’s going to be the first knife of decent quality beside my spydico delica which is a beat to crap. After about 15 knifes now nothing has came out super sharp yet even going down to 1 micron film. I have been trying to reprofile a lot of the knife to also help break in the stones. I would think those knifes will get better on follow visits.

Yes I did form a burr on the 800 and 1000 but couldn’t tell on the 1500. I start off with scrubbing one side at a time 1 to help remove the prior scratchs and 2 to help raise the burr then after that do 50-100 swipes of alternating strokes. As for the micro bevel I did use the weight of the paddles only. Only thing I was thinking it that micro bevel did take some of the sharpness away but wasn’t sure if that was possible. Thank u for the responses. I’m still not sure what happened. I used the loupe three the entire prosses and used the sharpie on the apex near the end of every grit

Good question as far as the I pad goes. I would be curious to hear if anyone uses a scope on the iPad.
