So Ive been thinking that my edges might be getting too polished. I sharpe much less these days because since Ive switched to touching them up with a ceramic rod followed by cromium on balsa followed by dimaond spray on leather. Sometimes just diamond/leather. I always cut on a end grain cherry/walnut board
My question is: When I do take them back to the stones, do you think I should stop with the Blue Aoto?
My progression:
1200 Bester with nagura
Blue Aoto with nagura
Ohira Tomae with nagura
Ozuku Asagi with 1 micron diamond spray
I always use very light strokes so I dont remove too much metal. Do you think Im going too far? I cant get the edges to shave hair or catch tomatoes unless I finished up with an Ohira/Ozuku
