It depends, I think usually there's ten or fifteen, then you flip and test the edge.

Yes, exactly. You can alternate with half strokes, obviously. To set a bevel on my coticule I would tend to start with half strokes and then when the bevel cuts move to x strokes. Takes about five minutes to set the bevel.

Not sure if it's a circle, The youtube footage I've seen of a guy bevel setting he does a full back hone type lap alonge the length of the coticule. Not sure if that's what we're talking about here? Clarification is needed. Originally Posted by gssixgun

I think what Glen is asking is if the number of halfstrokes is the same as when you use circular strokes for honing.
For example, ten back and forth strokes and then flipping the razor is the same thing, basically, as ten circle strokes and then flipping for the other side.
Edit: obviously length of stroke can vary for circles and back and forth strokes.Last edited by Disburden; 10-29-2010 at 11:28 PM.

Exactly correct,,,
The 20 Circles method can basically be used on any stone...
The Japanese honing method I reserve more for restoration...but that is not really what Bart's video portrays those are not Japanese stokes they are more akin to a circle...
If I was any good at video I would show you a slick stoke for use with slurry on any stone
