hi am curious how you do your basic sharpening, in this case f.e aogami super gyuto that is semi dull, if I start on a 1k stone, i do f.e 20 strokes with quite some pressure, at the heel ony and feel for burr, feel a little burr and want more burr so I go 10 more strokes, feel for burr. Now there is strong burr. Then I continue up the blade appr the same amount of strokes on each section and feel for burr. Once strong burr is achieved along the whole of the blade I flip the knive. Do like 15 strokes at the heel only with slightly less pressure than the first side, I go on till I removed the burr, often it ends up 75-80% of the strokes of the first side, I move up the blade and repeat. Is it important to build up burr on that side to?
Then I flip back to the first side, with much less pressure I do like 1/3 of the strokes at each section, so in this example 10, do I need to create tiny amount of burr this time to?
flip the knife and use the same low amout of pressure do like 10 strokes at each section for burr removal. Should I aim to create a tiny burr now?
Sometimes I repeat a third round with very little pressure, otherwise I move on to the 3k stone.
Please let me knoe how I can improve this first steps.
Thanks
