Can’t get my opinel to be sharp
I’m at my wits ends right now. I think I’m atleast have a decent sharpening skill I own 20+ kitchen knives and sharpen them all to shaving sharp by myself but this opinel somehow defeats me.
I used a 600 diamond plate, shapton 1000, and shapton 2000. I’m only able to get a good burr from the 600 plate and a small burr with the shapton 1000. I deburred on the stone and then strop with 1.5 um diamond strop but I only get mediocre result it doesn’t cut paper cleanly and doesn’t shave at all.
I then retried just using the 600 plate untill I get a burr on both side and deburred plus strop and still nothing good. I tried changing the angle etc and nothing works I seem to just widen the bevel.
Help please
