    Default Random noob questions that will boost me

    1.When they talk about honing with xxx grit sandpaper, do they mean the sandpaper you can get at a Home Depot?

    2.When honing, do you keep the angle exact, or do you minutely roll towards the blade as you get to the end of the stroke?

    3.Do I keep the blade angle the same when honing on 4000 grit, as I do when honing at 8000 grit? or do I increase the angle (make more perpendicular(slightly)) when moving to the finer grit?

    4.Is this google video a good example of how someone experienced hones? or is the camera making him show off?
