Hi all,
I've been honing my personal collection for just about a year and have a question about honing a wedge. Given that the profile (cross-section) of a wedge is a triangle, should I tape the spine? Why not just hone the entire blade on its side, especially, if there's no wording/design/art work on the sides that could be lost? Just wondering. In other words, should I even bother with setting a bevel that's at a sharper angle than the wedge itself?

Appreciate any education I can receive...
