Not nessacarily, if you are honeing chips out of the blade, and are using the fastest cutting stone you have, I could see that.

You'd mean if your were using your slowest cutting stone you could see spending an hour and a half on one stone, don't you?

Depends on the size of the chips in the blade. I worked for an hour on a kitchen knife and still need more work to get the chips out of the edge.

The D8C I ordered should help with that though.

I was not finding the norton 220 particularly fast cutting then.
