Thread: In hand or bench

Only time I bench hone is with a stone that is too big to hold like my dad's old double sided honing "block."



It's in a pasteurized cheese box for storage but it has its own pond it sits in. I even hand hold it sometimes for the last set of finish laps to help control pressure. Its just too heavy and not practical to hand hold it for more than a few laps. Other than that, everything I hand hold.
