with best regards, Paysbas
Its about 3 to 1. More strokes on the concave side to fewer strokes on the convex side but thats for touchups and minor honing. If your doing some edge restoration I wouldn't worry about it. Notice I say about. I've learned that nothing is written in stone and like honing western razors people starting out follow pyramids and other rigid regimens but as you do more you adapt and its the same here. But thats the recommended ratio using a 12K Hone and back and forth strokes with considerable downward pressure on the hone.
