Sharpened a Forshner #40552 using a Norton Blaze Orange 120 grit made in the USA - some previous grinding with belt. No effort to raise a burr, two light passes (light) at 15* per side.
Sharpened a Spyderco #KO5PBK Seki City Japan, using same belt and technique.
No problem removing burr using 204 Sharpmaker with diamond rods (P400 grit 40 microns) set the rods in the 20* per side holes (40* inclusive) - five passes down the right and the left rod (alternating left/right). Unable to locate any "whiskers" on the knife they are on my unshaven face.
Did not have a microscope, used the Horizon 10x loupe and adding machine paper - nothing in ref to burr, nothing.
Unable to test with my PT 50 (out on loan to my Son). Sharp as hell what ever that is? No trouble slicing tomatoes.

Go ahead and give it a go - you may like the results?
