Prob the latter :-)

All our knives (wife has 5) I do approx every 4-6 weeks with the wet stone sitting on a wet sponge on shed Veranda which is at chest height when standing on Aoteroa and the garden hose on mist in left hand an "wanki-wanki" in right hand with said knives.
Prod do 5-7 mins on each knife and all are razor sharp !!
If anything, probably end up with too fine of edge and Da Mrss has burred an odd edge or two on a bone etc

It looks a lot like you have sharpened the top edge on that knife?

I'm certainly not a novice at sharpening ( not butcher grade but better than most shepherds I worked with especially the younger ones) but certainly have struggled with the Svord

Can you check if you still got the convex edge?

If you haven’t got the time or the patience to use a wet stones these two systems would work well.
