FloorPizza, a slightly off-topic question: how does your 8k Shapton compare to your 12k Chinese? I am getting better polished bevels from the Shapton than from the Chinese stone.

i'm sure you have probably watched it before but i found Heavydutys youtube video pretty good for explaining the rolling X pattern, i think he does it at the end of them all though. check it out again if you have time. it helped me with my W&B.

Thanked: 4942My recommendation for smiling blades is to use a 45 degree angle (in lieu of the usual 90 degrees) as you push and pull the blade across the stone in your X pattern. I have found that this is a very successful method of getting the entire edge across the stone consistently. Works well for wedges too.
Have fun,
Lynn
