SUCCESS! I finally got this thing to start hanging up a bit on printer paper in a few spots. I stropped using diamond emulsions at 4, 2, 1 and .5 micron and it is back to push cutting and wave cutting smoothly. It only took a few minutes on the strops. It was still cutting just fine for any task prior to stropping, but I rarely let my knives get below that level of sharpness.
Maintaining an edge with strops here and there puts a lot of time in between necessary sharpenings. I’m done with my “testing” and will send it back to its rightful owner in short order. Hopefully this was useful to some of you folks!
