Smiling Frederick Reynolds
I have a FR wedge with a nice big smile.
When I hone it I can get some parts of the blade shave ready, but not all. I have tried X pattern but it just doesn't seem to work. The main problem is that to get the heel to contact with the hone I need to lift the toe and vice versa. Is this a permissable honing technique? If I use the x pattern combined with changing the angle of the blade from heel down to heel up, could it work?
I honed my other wedge, a wade and butcher with no problems, but that one has much less wear and smile.
