You are over thinking it,,, The easiest way to learn honing is to learn to refresh edges then work your way down the line, nobody likes to do that any longer and wants to jump into the deep end...
Start with doing the easiest and then slowly expand from there

Now if your objective is to hit E-bay and Antiques stores and the like then you are underhoned and you need a Bevel setter, and a way to sharpen -polish..
