Thread: Honing

Hi everyone, first post. I received a pearlex dovo for my birthday last month and have shaved about 5 times with it. Vast improvement so far, though left side is not great yet. I have grown so excited about this that I figured I'm going to do this and eventually I will need hones. I got a great deal on the spyderco 302F and 306UF, just received them today. About the same time I ordered the stones I ordered a ALWIN straight from ebay. Side note: Anyone know about these? I've found little on them so far.

So the Alwin has a slight hook on the last half of the blade, how do I go about honing this? I gave it a few strokes and tried holding the blade with my other hand while sharpening?

Hell it's my first time sharpening something with such a scary edge, maybe I'm not even close to doing it right!

Here's my equipment.

Cheers!
