What's a dual grit edge, you may ask?
Think: high performance aggressive knife edge!!! The dual grit method is a specific method for sharpening one side of the edge coarse and the other fine - an updated tutorial is below:

Good to see Cedric and Ada influenced scientific approach from the shed videos blooming in the knife community. Enjoyed this. Also where in NZ are you based?

[@homeslicesharpening]

I am near Tauranga - why do you ask?

[@dylanemeraldgrey]

Stating the obvious, but have you thought about getting the same model knife in case it's just an anomaly?

[@homeslicesharpening]

Not a bad idea...

@@homeslicesharpening It''s worth a shot - especially considering how much effort you've put in so far. I have to admit, i do enjoy the relatively extreme response to a pesky burr. I know you're learning regardless, so it's kind of a no lose situation, but it's amusing on some level. Oh, btw, after i do the wood trick, i strop again - very carefully. I don't think it will matter in this case, but thought I'd mention it.

Haha definitely an extreme response.
