A pro honed edge can be maintained forever, unless it gets damaged from dropping or rolling the edge etc ect
Ok, that clears it up. At this point I'm just trying to learn the basics and refresh the blade every few months. I'll start reading about the barber hones that you mentioned in the previous post.
