We teach you, when sharpening, to raise a burr. You get used to it. You think your job is done, but it has only just begun. Removing metal is the task, but it is not complete until you can feel the sharpness of the apex. Several times, while sharpening this knife, I thought the job got done. I was wrong. I consulted a friend. He said you're gonna have to sharpen that one three or four times. That didn't seem correct. He was right. Every time I felt the metal coming off, I was trained to think that I had done my job. The first stone really does all the work. The knife should be sharp when you're done with the first stone. The other stones polish and they remove the metal that is the wire metal edge hanging on. Do not mistake this feeling. Use your three finger technique and let the tips of your fingers on the apex tell you if you have achieved your goal. The knife is not sharp unless you can tell that it is sharp from just touching it. You can see that I sharpened the knife and got a polished edge, but yet, it did not cut well. I did eventually get this knife sharp (to a 47 on the BESS). I look forward to going back and re-sharpening some other knives and getting the apex closer to sharp before I move on in my progression. Whether you use whetstones, a belt sander or any other type of knife sharpening device you need to feel the apex be razor sharp before you move onto the next process.
