Do you have any diamond stones, or Spyderco ceramics? You want a hard stone that cuts well and doesn't break down at all.

With your advice along with Jason's on how to remedy a burr, I have been able to remove that burr. Hopefully with time I will correct my technique and learn to not let that annoying burr form at all.

Getting a decent finish on curved blades with large stones is a skill very few people have, hence why most people resort to rods. If you can do that you are in a fairly elite class.

Thanks. Now I don't feel so bad about the fact that no matter how hard I try, or how much I take my time when I water stone sharpen, I still have to finish with some light stropping on white compound to get the sharpest edge that I can achieve. I think my next purchase will indeed be one of those above referenced spyderco ceramic rods and give them a try.

From what You have written already I think the sharpening potential
of all water stones You currently have is quite good..
the rest ( 90%) is just a matter of understanding the process and skilled hands..
Actually, stone will have bigger contact area with the edge than rod has which means:
1) You can remove metal faster (on stone).
2) You can achieve thinner (sharper) edge (on stone) as can achieve
lower pressure (force to area) on the cutting edge.

Take a cheap knife with not crap blade steel perhaps easy to grind
f.e. plain carbon steel or sandvik or so... and sharpen them and try
to achieve maximum sharpness.. that way you learn and get more skill..

Your barks are not cheap and made of steels not so easy to sharpen
so learning takes long with them. Also for similar money
I would recommned to get knife from Andrey Biryukov.
I handled 2 knives made by him, they performed great
in Pavols tests and egronomics are excellent.
Honestly barks are nowhere near in cutting performance
and edge retention.

When you say plain carbon do you mean a steel that has no chromium, vanadium or molybdenum?
Or just a higher than average presence of carbon in the steel?

f you dont have such knife I wouldnt spend so much for a knife just to practice..
Maybe train with paring knife it will be easy to grind steel - despite stainless..
find someting like this - Most likely have home something similar that would do just fine..

Your wusthof would be ok but I assume despite the steel would be easy to grind by most stones
they are usually thick behind the edge and the bevels arent very narrow meaning one must sharpen
more surface and it can take long time.. thick knife from easy to grind steel would take more time
to apex than high wear resistant steel kinfe ground very thin..

Your nick is in russian, I assume You are russian: Andrey Biryukov Honestly I think his knives are best performing blades in that price range..
They arent high end customs might have a little scratch here and there but are well made with
good fit and finish and they cut very well being made of material having always a perfect heat treat.
