    I have seen too much ham-handed honing done with two hands in videos. Beginners struggle to keep the blade flat on the hone, and of course the second hand can serve like training wheels to make it easier, but eventually you should learn how to do it one handed. This is because, in my opinion, you can accomplish more versatile and subtle changes in strokes with one hand than you can with two.
