Here's my recently reprofiled Delica. I spent several years starting this reprofile job using hand stones. I decided to make the edge angle even lower using the KallyRest and see what I could do.
Interestingly, I initially stopped at 280 grit, but was unable to get a really nicely deburred edge. It was sharp sharp. Nice BESS reading and it shaved hair well. But it hung in paper despite quite a bit of effort at removing the burr.
So, after waiting over night, I decided to redo the edge, ending at 600 grit, and then deburring with green compound on leather. Here are the results.
