I had an annoying burr after thinning a white 2 iron clad gyuto. I had a soft stainless bowl nearby and super gently ran the wire edge on it. Then I sharpened with light pressure and the burr came off really cleanly. I repeated this process a couple times and finished with stropping. I got a really crispy edge, and I think its the nicest edge I've gotten so far, and this is on a Shapton 1k. Test was shredding cabbage.
I've tried cutting into wood and other stuff, but I think this works because it folds the wire edge over immediately. I tried the edge joining technique too but I didn't like it, as it didn't seem to work for me. Edge leading strokes was what I had also tried before to get off stubborn burrs. Scrubby side of the sponge too.
. . . does anyone want to try it too?
