Not to jump in here,but..............


When you are putting on a finishing edge, whether it is with a steel or a ceramic, once the coarse imperfections are gone, lighten up on the pressure that you apply to the ablating surface. Once that you have achieved the edge that you want, use a piece (several layers) of newsprint (a newspaper) over the edge of a table or counter to strop the blade and remove the "wire edge" that the more agressive (aforementioned) methods produce. The lighter the sroke, the sharper the edge !!

Mr. Harsey, did I miss anything ?!?!
