Oh well. Par for the course?
What he had when I sent that was a Dovo that had spine problems and he was trying to hone it. I went through my collection and found him one with little to no hone wear, a round point so as to minimize cuts, a straight spine and bevel, no stabilizer, basically I tried to eliminate all the things that were going to stand in the way of learning to hone. Eventually it will need to be honed but for the moment I honed it to where he can easily see what it should shave like for the sake of comparison. Once it does eventually need honing it will be one that he will be able to have success with without running into a bunch of problems.
