Hello guys, I recently acquired a new stone. It was recommended to me buy a guy at my local knife store. It's the 1000 grit Oishi stone. Used it once today to sharpen my knife. The only other stone I have is a 1k/6k combo stone from Amazon thats terrible, so I decided to just finish on this 1k.
I had a question on setting a micro bevel on one side but also stropping. Should I do some stropping on the 1k stone before I set in the micro bevel or should I only strop once the micro bevel is set? I also hear that some people only do stropping strokes while setting in the micro bevel. Would that mean I would say, do 10 strokes on the front side of the knife to get in a micro bevel, then do a couple strokes on the backside to remove the burr? How many times would I repeat that to get ride of the wire edge? I feel like I left my knife with a wire edge thats already curled over after one use.
Plus I totally ****** up and got scratches all over it :/.
Thanks guys
