I used in the beginning the Norton flattening stone. I then progressed to what I use now which is the DMT lapping plate. It is way more precise and works great. Every so often I simply use a pencil to make cross marks across the hone both vertical and horizontal. I then place under water and start to lap the hone. I stop every so often to see where the stone still has pencil marks and know that is a area that is lower than the area that is now missing the pencil marks. I continue until all marks are gone. I then do again and do a few strokes and if they all are removed simultaneously I know it is lapped to a degree that will yield great results.
There will be others to chime in on their method as well. Good luck.German blade snob!
