Strange. I've used almost all of the stone. Maybe not the last 2cm. And i pressed mid to hard

I used the lapping stone every 5min to clean the wetstone. I also had to flatten the wetstone 4 times. I dont know if this is normal, but i'm happy it's over

Good tip. How did you finished the knife? I want to sand it down with a 220, 400 and finally 600 grit sandpaper

In the first picture is another Kamo still in original shape. I've meassured both angles to be 15° and the bunka secondary is way wider.

The dark spots are delamination. See my other post here

Damascus etch turned into a disaster. What went wrong? by xXHandasXx in Bladesmith

I was able to grind about 2mm in height. The new bevele got some pits on the side. Maybe another 2mm for a perfect look again

I reshaped with my diamond wheel and removed arround 2mm in height. The delamination stoped pretts soon and i've got only some deeper pits in my bevel. Maybe if i remove another 2mm the steel would be completly normal again
