I have no experience to gauge how long a honing session should take but I feel safe in my assumption that two episodes of House of Cards B2B is probably too long. On a positive note I don't believe I have found any other task to be so therapeutic. the edge IS noticeably sharper and cutting the fine hairs of my forearm, but it's not as keen as my Revisor. I think either my technique needs improving (guaranteed), or possibly I need a slightly coarser stone for my vintage blade.
My PHIG was sent without a rubbing stone, will any type do?
