Yet Kamisori Honing uses Back and Forth aka Japanese Honing kinda puts the Kabosh on many of the detractions to using it

Now I guess you can discuss the asymmetrical bevel and the uneven stroke counts as the reason it works

I however think it is more about the pressure shift while honing to avoid a Burr/Rough harsh edge
You can use the same pressure shift on Western Blades,,, well I can anyway
