Folks,

I'm in the market for a Belgian Blue and Coticule stone
from Howard, and I've heard a few recommendations on
the different stone widths. Lynn seems to recommend the
wider and longer surface, but I think I recall Josh finding
the 6"/2" to be a better size when using the X-pattern
stroke.

Does an X-pattern stroke give inconsistent honing from
the toe to the heel on a 3" wide stone? If money is not
an object, what's the ideal width for the Belgian stones?
