I've been watching Lynn's excellent DVD and I just finished the section on honing. I noticed that the standard X-pattern that Lynn demonstrated had the heel of the blade being pulled off of the long side of the hone early in the stroke, while the center of the blade and the toe spend all or most of the stroke on the hone. My question is, it appears that different portions of the blade are getting honed by different amounts; wouldn't this lead to an uneven edge?

Just a newbie wondering . . .
