Thread: How to sharpen a curved edge?

It honestly is the exact same stroke irregardless of whether you are on a 1 inch wide hone or a 3 inch wide hone, the edge and the spine must remain in contact as you adjust the honing gymnastics to accomplish a nice even stroke..

It just doesn't matter, but the myth of a narrow hone continues, we have many of those in this hobby

Sitting across the table from beginners and watching them wibble wobbly every stroke they attempt on near every razor and hone I doubt narrow or wide is easier.. Honing a smiling blade like the SRP LE is a learning experience that must be tackled by each new honer and they need to learn to do it on whatever hone is in front of them...

Think about this for just half a minute, many people have Narrow finishers Eschers, CF, Cotis, J-nats, etc;: the majority of these are thinner then a 3 inch wide Synthetic, as you hone a razor through your ladder you don't all of a sudden change the stroke when you get to the top do you ???? You keep the razor in the exact same relation to the hone when you switch from the Norton 8k to the Escher, *** well you do if you want a nice even bevel***
