I took this to mean and am talking about starting with the edge going forward but with the toe at the bottom of the stone pushing toward the heel. I think that's what TC means too.

I'm guilty of that, particularly, fillet knives. They get the most wear directly on the tip and first 3/4" of the tip, from hitting bone.
So I typically start with a sawing action near the center of the hone, working the tip back n forth, and using the flex of the blade to keep a constant pressure and angle. Once the tip is back in order, back full blade passes to even it all out.
