Thread: W&B Honing Difficulties

I've always thought that my Spyderco Medium was a fairly fast cutter, and I'm used to using diamond hones most of the time.

I would just keep going until I passed the marker and TNT at the same time on the medium, paying extra attention to the heel. After that I would move on to the finer grits.

It sounds like you may have additional issues (like maybe a warped or bent razor). It shoudn't take days to set the edge even if your smilie was an extremely thick full/true wedge.

EDIT: if you are using the Fine or Ultra Fine Spyderco to set the edge; then, "Yes, it might even take weeks."
