Thread: Bevel setting issue in the middle

I honed a TI yesterday with some uneven wear and a slight frown, I took pics that came out "Okay" will try and get them up for you when I get back home later

The thing you have to understand is all these stupid stroke names really mean "Nutin Honey" it is all honing gymnastics to keep that small ripple of water/oil at the front of the edge or riding up on the blade face (Higher Grits) evenly and equally across the hone..

All total BS, and yes I was dumb enough to actually name a couple of those 9-10 years ago
It isn't a set stroke it just gives a general impression of the stroke you are doing to keep that Ripple even

Now when doing corrections, this is where it gets difficult because all that stuff you have read about No Pressure, weight of the blade etc etc is tossed to the side.. If you want to correct a bevel you have to use selective / directed pressure to make the bevel conform to your wishes

Honing is really easy,,, right up until it isn't
