Eventually being the operative word, I don't think you're likely to ever see that.

Hone wear can happen very fast, I got a Gold Dollar to play with and those things have some big ol spines so i honed it without tape with the intent of wearing the spine, omg it happens fast on 1K.

Trust the guys that really know what their talking about, if they say tape you should listen, they will only say it so many times.
