I'm having trouble getting a solid answer on this (maybe there isn't one..)
When you guys hone your blades, do you;
stroke the blade with the EDGE leading the motion or,
do stroke the blades with the SPINE leading the motion (like when stroping) ?
I've seen/read instructions for both methods and results from either
do not seem to vary much.
As for me, i 'feel' that pushing the balde with the EDGE leading on a hone
is more effective and doesn't create a burr that later needs to be removed,
like running the edge lightly on a piece of soft wood.
Your thoughts.. ?
Thx. much
