    Hint;

    Stop thinking and speculating and go try it

    1 Layer of Electrical tape at the 1k level to set the hard bevel then dropping the tape at the 3-4-5 k level takes mere seconds to even out the bevels less then 20 laps
    It eliminates the deeper 1k scratches that you would leave on the spine..


    I have a Vid of exactly how little one layer of tape changes, things but honestly just go try it yourself the AHT and dulling the edge is a good way of testing it...
    Set the bevel at 1k with 1 layer of tape so that it passes your AHT, then lightly kill the edge so that it doesn't pass, then remove tape and re-set the bevel using your 3-4-5 k hone and see just how little it takes...

    (Does not apply to using multiple layers for geometry issues and Torque while honing plays a large effect on spine wear in general)
