Thread: How is my honing coming?

Deep scratches end in chip, always, sometimes we hone them out, sometimes not, then weaken the steel at the edge and surface later. So make sure the heavy stria is removed early on.

This is probably a very shavable edge, but could break down and chip out after some stropping.

Go easy on pressure as it causes deep stria, this is where most folks error.

This is what, this post on the Transition Stone is all about and why it might be the most important stone in the progression, especially for novice honers.
