I enjoy honing on an elliptical surface. It just feels better to me. I can get good edges from it.

I can also get good edges from a dead flat hone. Rolling X strokes work and works well. It takes skill.

Using elliptical stone requires it own skill set too. It does not do the honing for you.

TSS vendor has a unique personality as well as ego. But I think anyone on this forum does. Everyone on here is passionate about what they do and how they do it. That is why I loved coming here for so long.

I have not posted here in awhile. So if you made through this post. I hope you are doing well...whoever you are.

Thank you for posting some first hand experience it is appreciated
