If I have to work on big chips I get out a #320 shapton, will take too long with my #1000. What grit you using?

something's not happy with it, and I guess you've moved on with more progress - I'd wait proper advice (or someone to say never do this) but with the last soft metal chipped tight edge I corrected, I took the point (apex) off it and worked from one side until good then started the other

@ChasnotRobert
here's a close up of the edge of one of my knives - it's a Henckels that I've had fotlr quite a few years. Apologies for the not great phone pic.
i've been sharpening it on a fairly course stone, but it doesn't feel like i'm making any progress on taking out the various chips and roughness (should have taken a pic before i stared but didn't think of it - it's only had maybe 15 mins work on it so far).
do i need to get this sorted out on an abrasive wheel or should i just plod on with my seemingly ineffectual sharpening?
