Well just for info, what were you doing wrong? I still use a Lansky just because I haven't worn it out, but Ron's even helped me with it. When I upgrade, it will be to KME because I feel it superior for its infinite angle adjustability, as opposed to preset slots. I've always stroked the hone into the edge, but it seems like a read on a knife forum that stroking away from the edge builds up a faster burr and is easier to remove when dealing with single bevels. Some still prefer a circular motion. Which does Ron recommend? When I remove the burr on singles I think I tend to roll it back over and mess it up, even holding it flat. Always had an easier time with double bevels. I like to finish and deburr them by increasing the angle for the final few strokes on both sides. I think some call this "micro-beveling" or creating a secondary bevel. But you know you are aligning the extreme microscopic edge at that point and I think it makes a keen double beveled edge less apt to curl under hard use. Obviously, the more acute angle you use, the sharper it will feel but the less "support" it will have.
