Thread: One way to hone a E-bay or Damaged blade

I am going to update this here, as I have been getting a few PM's on this system....
I started this about 2 years ago and met with some success but I had been missing a step for the consistency, when I watched the Dovo video the missing step jumped into my brain...
They cut a pre-bevel on that rotating stone and they lift the spine, that was when I added the 3 layers of tape to cut my pre-bevel and that was when this system became very consistant...
You have to realize that you are actually creating a bevel here you are not just honing, you want to get as even a bevel as possible in this step, super light honing strokes will not cut it here, it takes light pressure, and two hands works better than one...I know this goes against all the preconceived ideas of honing, but you are not honing in this step, you are shaping metal....
This is where the low grit 220 or similar stone just really helps, you cut the pre-bevel, then you move to the 1k or similar stone and begin your actual honing.....
To break that down very clearly, in the first step you are not really honing, you are cutting the pre-bevel...

Again this is not for beginners, this is not for a faucet ding, this is re-cutting an edge....
