No. I'll go ahead and pass on the hone. I will inspect once more, and run
through all of the setup checks that they call for, but I cannot see where
any of that would cause a strip of uncut material. Then I guess I will go
ahead and shift the knives.

Setup as in knife height, etc., isn't, as you say, going to make any
difference on a ridge being left on the surface. As I noted before, if
there's a ridge of sufficient size to see/feel, then there's a knick of
sufficient size to find.
