Bill,
When you say the wire edge...do you mean were the edge has rolled over or is burred?
No wonder I can't use a sharpening stone to save my life.
I always thought I had a piece of crap stone, also why I always used a diamond stone.
I always used a standard stone with a drop of CLP (A.K.A. break free) and circle montion starting from hilt moving to tip. Then flip the blade over and move from tip to hilt, but I could never get a good edge until I used a diamond stone.
