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
