You can do it either way. But the best time to learn to do it correctly is to do it from the beginning. Now, im not bitchin at you. As Glen said, you can see him doing it the "other way" in his vids. I was just letting you know that when I learned to do it properly it helped me a lot. A lot of fine details just came together. I dont know if that will work for you the same but...
It's just Sharpening, right?

Although it is true that it only matters if you hit the edge on the stone why present the opportunity to do so? It is harder unlearn a habit than to learn one. I still flip it the wrong way every once in a while by accident. It really sucks when you ding the edge though, especially if you are at finish. Now you have to go back, maybe to the beginning which eats up time and steel.
Remember having to learn to let off the brake if you start to skid? That's unnatural too but you do it for a VERY good reason. Think of it that way. Skidding only matters if you hit something but who wants to do that?Last edited by PaulFLUS; 07-21-2021 at 11:59 AM.
