Have fun.

You are right. What i meant is that it can be done with a sandpaper if you know what you are doing. I've tried with one or two razors, just to see if it can be done. Another point is of course that there is no much point honing a razor on a sandpaper. You cannot ever cause much wear to a hone with a single razor.
Of course if not familiar with honing with a sandpaper it is easy to damage even woodworking blades.
