I dunno. The OP is obsessing about sharpening and looking at his edges with a USB microscope. Seems like he might want to build a watch. Let’s help him.

You've made a long list of assumptions here, each predicated upon the previous one being true. Have you given any thought to the possibility that you might be wrong?
I've gotten over the "Rickyness" of the OPs quest and do appreciate his determination and wish him well.
But.
He's asking what time it is and some are trying to teach him build a watch.
why you use bruce rhee face?
Ask away with your questions man. People generally are very helpful. Some people gave him a hard time because of the youtube angle that he began with. I think when you come in not knowing anything and you are focused on teaching or showing yourself as very knowledgeable and qualified to give advice, it rubs people the wrong way and it's often hard to take that person seriously. The op is thick skinned though and can take some shots, which I think won some people over. But you don't want to be stiff neckedHey guys!!! As a newbie to the forum I can attest that it’s a bit frightening to ask for the help I truly want. Maybe we can post a resource center of our own that has useful content (videos, etc....) for members to learn without needing to feel like dummies.
Although, when I look at Labor's post, he really does look like a bad a**. All you need is to have him holding to ks gyutos in an X, and you are talking Chuck Norris level.It's all Ryky's fault with his wall of knives making people crazy.

True dat!Since everyone comes here with a diffrent skill level, that becomes hard. Most of the time people here are very helpful, remember though, half the time it is HOW you ask your question that dictates how people react to your post.
"I'm new. I want to learn."Since everyone comes here with a diffrent skill level, that becomes hard. Most of the time people here are very helpful, remember though, half the time it is HOW you ask your question that dictates how people react to your post.
I mean can you really blame people for not wanting to help create a Rickystein."I'm new. I want to learn."
We'll help.
"I want to be like Ryky!"
How does a thread like this turn racist?why you use bruce rhee face?
So, offensive messages are okay if they are frequent enough?Your first Panda?
How do you imagine this sort of racist crap would appear to a young Asian chef?
He specifically said young Asian....I suppose we could ask panda.
He specifically said young Asian....
Jon's (JKI) videos are very, very helpful. Ultimately it takes time and practice. Like any skill the more you work at it the better it gets. At the moment I am struggling with a folder that has a pretty curvy edge, not recurve or anything but a continuous curve. Sharpening on a bench stone is proving to be more difficult than I thought it would be. Just saying this because I thought I had sharpening mostly figured out, not pro level, but good enough. Not with this folder though
Ageist!He specifically said young Asian....
Chris Rock made a stand-up career mocking not only his own ethnicity, mocking white people also.So, yeah, he’s Asian - so what?
Personally, I don’t subscribe to the notion that someone can say anything they want, rascism-wise, if they are of the race they are referencing.
I can see that this forum has turned into the sort of sad circle jerk club that will shrink and die.
Seems a shame.

I didn't notice you mention a good strop after sharpening. Just a layman's perspective but stropping after a sharpening session has definitely improved my edges from where they were just on the stones. Good luck in your pursuit!!Can anyone help me? I've got my angles down now having been using whetstone for a month or so. I have a 1000 and 6000 combo stone.
I seem to get to a point where I can cut vegetables well but paper and shaving goes wrong.
I think it might be the stopping strokes but I got a USB microscope and there's no burr as far as I can see.View attachment 86275View attachment 86276View attachment 86275View attachment 86276View attachment 86280View attachment 86280View attachment 86279View attachment 86278
+1, although I haven’t tried in quite some time.Small little folders are hard for me too. Especially in some of those alloy steels.
