I had an edge try to wiredge on me. My solution was to VERY CAREFULLY AND GENTLY run the edge at 90 degrees to a small radius corner of the fine grit stone. This will rip off the wire edge while (hopefully) not dulling the real edge too much. Then, I resharpened the edge, being careful to keep a proper bevel.

Another way to strip off a wire edge is this: Take a piece of cardstock (heavy paper, not corrugated cardboard) and strop the edge on that a few times. The cardstock is coarse enough to pull off the wire without damaging the edge.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
