Thanked: 13236Hmmmm not really
I understand the idea of "Flat" and some people's OCD about it honest I do, if any one understands being obsessive it is me
But unless you are doing the exact same stroke straight down the hone/plate (You can't, it's physically impossible) the amounts of absolute you are discussing mean nothing...
Think it through before you disagree, the unevenness of a human honing stroke, and the FACT that you are not honing over the exact same spot every time negates the the minor unevenness of the Stone/Hone/Plate Don't take this to reductio ad absurdum I am not talking dished hone here I am saying Flat enough, is Flat enough...
This is one reason why we use the X-stroke in the first place, it helps to keeps the bevel even between three imperfect things
1. The human error
2. The hone error
3. The razor error
ps: By adjusting the stroke and the pressure you can easily hone on a Rounded Dished hone, but I agree the most flat it is the easier it is
