Thread: Hone Format for Knives Scaled to Razors

I have " 1/4 nortons " and they are maybe 4" long and 1.5" wide. This is what I learned to hone my razors on and with patience and care it is just fine. A bigger or full size Norton or what ever hone you choose would be better or a luxury as stated in another comment. But at the end of the day as Glen says it is up to the fella pushing the steel as to how well a hone works or does not work. So "little " or smaller stones work just as well just take a bit more care when using them.
