Thread: Overhoning on Jnats

First of all each stone is individual, some are very slow some a re faster.
You need trough trial and error to determine how many laps to do after you highest synthetic to get the edge where you like it.
Have you gone past the bevels being sucked on the stone? If you keep going you will reach a point where the bevels slide on the stone as if it is butter, as soon as it gets there stop. That works for me very very consistently. There is the possibility that you are doing too many laps too, so you have to play with the count also.
The way I see it, overhoning is simply making the edge way too thin such that it can't survive a full shave. In essence there is a bit of a compromise between how thin the edge is and how durable it will be.
