Thread: Honing issues continued

As Dylan says, takes time and experience. The coticule method can be time consuming. That is why I like to do the TNT as the first proof (besides visual under magnification) that I've got it where I want it. Once I pass TNT , firmly and smoothly, I can move along, still on the 1k, to trying the TPT and shaving hair on the leg or arm. When I'm satisfied with those I will move up to sharpening with a higher grit. I really like to examine the edge with magnification along the way. I had an edge that passed TNT and shaved hair and when I looked at it with the 30x loupe I saw chipping here and there. Had to start at square one. Anyway, check it out with the loupe and best of luck with it.
