Thread: Weird results from the Marker test

Here are pictures of the problem... From the middle down where it's darkened, that's the marker... dunno how visible it is.. Sorry

Any other angles you need?

usually when I have a razor that does not hone with standard circles or x strokes, I test which more exotic stroke will do the job.
You could also try narrower stone if you have one and see if this will help.

Heres my question: If I just stick with the circles for a long time, will it remove enough metal to smooth it out, or will that not work? Do I have to find a varied stroke that fits the bill?

Circles only, might or might not work the problem, depending how much warp you have. IMHO working for many hours with stroke that might or might not solve the problem is counter productive, not to mention the hone wear you will induce on the spine. The proper stroke will do the trick much much faster.

As Delirium suggested try rolling x, those are usually very good for problematic edges.
