On a related note, does anyone else have a problem feeling for burrs when sharpening? I sharpen with a 1k stone and cannot feel a thing - regardless of which side I've been sharpening on, both sides of the edge feel the same to me when running my finger over it..
How much time have you spent on it? Really effective sharpening takes much longer than most people think. I'm a beginner and it takes me hours, not minutes. It's very satisfying when the burr develops.
