I've not done a whole lot of research into the pyramids, so please educate me on this. I always thought the point of the pyramids was that it gives you a pretty good chance at getting a good edge without you actually having to have the touch and feel of a pro. I'm just guessing, but I always thought that guys who were pretty proficient at honing didn't really use a pyramid, but could tell from experience when to go to the next hone. Essentially, the pyramid does work and is good because it takes some of the "guess work" out. Am I off base with that?
