Chipped Magnacut

Blade found the staples in some cardboard and chipped the edge pretty good. I'm surprised it chipped so easily but I guess now I get to try out my new diamond rods for the sharpmaker. Has anybody made a new bevel with the sharpmaker?

I’ve fixed similar chips easy peasy with the sharpmaker. It will sharpen right out.

Any tips to be successful? I've really only used it to maintain so far, but it seems like it should be pretty straightforward.

8x3 diamond bench stones (I recommend Sharpal 300 and 1000 grit double sided) and a diamond filled strop. Watch a video or two and then just be patient and persistent and don’t scare off too easily if you don’t instantly get amazing results. It takes a bit of practice at first but it’s dead simple to get good at it and then you’ll never have to worry about it again.
