I tend to use my hones hand held and I mostly own 8" x 3" hones. The only one I don't use that way is the Norton, too messy! I used to keep the hone on the bench or on my knee but I found holding the hone made it easier to handle my smiling blades that seem to require some body English to get honed evenly. Not sure what I'll do if I end up with those glass Shaptons... I'll probably try the holder on the bench but suspect I'll end up hand holding them like barber hones.
