How much time does it take you to take a dull blade and get it to mirror sharp finish?



I use diamond plates to reprofile a blade up to 1000gr.
I switch to stones from 2000gr to 12,000gr before moving to leather strop plates .
I spend an hour reprofiling to a mirrored edge.
I go slow as the cost / value of higher end knives deserve extra attention.
