Thread: 1st time honing

I would suggest trying to get it even and as sharp as possible on the 6k then you will probably need a fair bit on the 1k strop as this is not going to cut fast as it is roughly equivalent to a 12k stone so it is a fair jump in honing grits. You might be better with a stone in the 8-10k region. Good luck and hope you find your happy edge. Ed
