Hi SHARPCO
Deburring high-vanadium knives, and hard alloy knives in general is different to high-carbon and mainstream stainless steel knives.
While carbon and mainstream s/s knives, with their edge set on #1000 are deburred with a 5-6 micron honing compound, high-vanadium knives typically require 10-micron diamonds honing before you can continue on 5-micron. Still doable with 5-mircon diamonds or CBN but by longer honing at high RPM, e.g. on paper wheels.
Honing them with aluminium oxide based compounds compromises the edge retention.
You also asked elsewhere if the hard alloy knives can be bevelled on the SG or SB wheel - sure they can, but further honing must be done with CBN or diamonds only.
The question I am often asked if the hard alloy edge can be set on the SG/SB wheel graded to #1000 rather than CBN/diamond wheel #1000 or #1200 - one can never get the same sharpness as off the CBN/diamond wheel. CBN/diamond superabrasives remove material in a unique way; due to their super hardness the whole process is quite similar to the milling operation, while conventional abrasives are more akin to sanding - as a result the apex of the edge set on #1000/1200 CBN/diamonds is in the vicinity of the Gillette razor apex 0.1 micron, while that set on SG/SB wheel is near 0.5 micron.
All these particulars are covered in our Knife Deburring book, the chapter
High-end versus mainstream knives - a free evaluation version in PDF is available on our website, and in the article
Scanning Electron Microscope images for our sharpening protocols on our website Sharpening Resources section.
Now that you have the Knife Deburring book, just re-read the chapter High-end versus mainstream knives

You can also compare our sharpening procedure for mainstream s/s knives to the procedure for high-end knives on our website - these are actual sharpening procedures we follow in our workshop:
