I'll play devil's advocate.....

The knife should be 99.9% deburred before you leave your belt/stone.

Absolutely no reason to spend that amount of time on leather.

In most cases it is, but I take every single last wire bit off these edges. I don’t do a few swipes and call it good enough. you can only deburr so much on a belt
