I just got done with the 800 and 1,000 grit stones. At what point should it pass the paper test?

The first thing I did was reprofile the blade from 22.5º to 20º using the 100 grit stones. I did not use a marker. I just kept going until burrs had developed on both sides. Then I used the 200, 400, and 600 grit stones.

I am working on a Strider PT. I just got done with the 600 grit stones and it took 120 passes to develop a burr on one side, 120 passes to develop a burr on the other side, and 40 passes to remove it. Am I doing something wrong?


I moved this post from the stropping section to this one, just so it is more accurately covers the subject matter.
