Here's my problem: I recently purchased a Gerber covert folder (AF blade), which I'm sure because of ridiculous knife laws, does not come with both edges sharpened. The blade is double beveled, but the second side is basically rounded off. My go to sharpener is my Spyderco sharpmaker, which works wonders for someone without any sharpening training (me), however I am having a hell of time getting an edge started on the blade. I've shined up the edge, basically I've ground off the finish making the edge shiney, but it is still pretty much rounded off. I searched around on here and couldn't find an answer to this, should I just keep going and going on my sharpmaker, or is there an easier/better way to give me a workable edge to sharpen? I appreciate any insight, as I really don't want to wear out my starting stones on my sharpmaker in vain.
