Hei Jacke!

If you still plan to use it for honing, I would strongly suggest honing hand-held. What I do with small hones like that is lay it in my flat, open hand, one end on/towards the tip of my index finger, the other end just below where the pinky starts. Try to keep the pressure to a minimum, otherwise it may rock (harhar) or slip a bit.
