Hi,

Yesterday I honed 2 blades, and Berninghaus and a JA Henckels from dull. I set the edge with a Norton 220/1000 then moved on to the 4000/8000. I did 20 or so strokes on the 4K to remove the 1K scratches and then did Lynn's Pyramid in the Wiki that stats 10/10 and ends 1/5. Then I did 40 strokes on the Chinese 12K. Finally I stropped them.

BOTH pass the hanging hair test at the toe and the heel. The middle 1/3 does not. I tried to shave with one and I cut my cheek right in the middle of the blade.

The fact that I got the same result on both blades has me curious if I need to adjust my technique or do I just need to do more honing? What do you all think?

Thanks.

Doug
