You know, I looked at all the darn honing videos I can find online - but none of them tell you just how much pressure to use. Sometimes I feel like I'll just have to wait till that meetup in Seattle to see how a real honemaster does it in person... till then I think I'm just fumbling... but when it works... oh when it works... <3
