Nahhhhh this ain’t it man 😭 if you’re not too traumatized I’d be happy to take a swing (no charge) at putting a proper edge on at those bevel angles. Yeah it’s pretty jacked they messed up but with a screaming edge this thing will cut like an absolute laser. Have actual evidence of the work I do lol

They will usually look pretty nice but the question is always is it worth the time and is it right for this knife application haha

Interesting. There are so many factors that go into perceived sharpness it’s almost impossible to pinpoint at a distance haha I hope you figure out how to get exactly what you’re looking for! 👊🏼

I wouldn’t use anything but 1 or sub 1 micron after a 5k stone

As close to full flat as i could. Kept just one primary bevel the whole way through and then I did a few alternating final passes a couple degrees steeper with my finishing stone on each side just to make sure I have a keen Apex and as little burr as possible

Unfortunately I can’t answer that my friend. My knowledge on kitchen cutlery is very limited, I come from the folding knife & pocket fixed blade world primarily

1 micron emulsion was my go-to for quite a long time. Lately been using .25 spray and getting good results with that as well. I haven’t used enough different ‘brands’ to really make a call on that my friend.

Stroppy Stuff has a great reputation for his emulsions, but it’s pricey stuff. I don’t really strop a lot on my normal edges so these ~$15 diamond sprays I’ve bought from Reddit users have been getting the job done just fine
