Thread: Scything questions

a safe way to start learning is to lead with the heel

it is closest to your hand and you have lots of control

I have 2 or more inches of lateral motion on every pass, very similar to the 45 used when honing

in other words, the toe ends up where the heel started

Thanks Joe, that was exactly what I was after - just wanted to know if I should be learning this technique from the get-go or holding off on it.
