Question about honing a frameback....
I recently acquired an Engstrom frameback. My question is do you hone it the same as a traditional SR? I have zero experience with framebacks. Any other tips/tricks? Thanks in advance!!

Well most framebacks Ive honed have a little smile on the heel side. So A flat lap stroke may leave some edge untouched. I cant speak for your blade in particular but I usually do a heel leading stoke, lift the toe slightly and rock it gently to get the whole edge.
