Thanks guys for your help.
I’ll try testing the blade before stropping to see how well it cuts. I think I am rounding the burr over while stropping as I sometimes feel a rounded ridge over the back edge of the blade when I am done.
I forgot to ask another question. How much pressure do you put on the blade while sharpening? Do you easy up as you get to the higher grits?
Thanks,
Kevin
