Thread: Blade Chips

Another issue then the above mentioned, is the hone. Is it completely flat? If there's a small bump, on the hone your edge will hit it and be destroyed. The easy way to check it, is to put some 400 grit sanding paper on a glass plate, and make some light pencil strokes on the hone.

Then lap the hone a few times with light pressure on the sanding paper and all the pencil marks should be removed. If not, lap the hone until they are gone.
