That maneuver is for the well experienced honers who know when to stop. You just create a lot of extra work for yourself and sometimes you really need some finesse to get the edge back. certainly there are times when bread-knifing is appropriate but as far as I'm concerned it's for ocassions when the edge looks like this:

I would take that razor & shape that gouge a little better with a Dremel &
use it as a "gut hook" for squirrels.
Hone the rest of the blade & put it in a camping pack.
