Thread: Honing at the high end grits

+1 on the bevel setting, this is key and make sure spine and edge are flat on the stone before coming off the 1 k or what ever bevel setting method adopted. Keeping the edge and spine flat throughout the stroke with minimal/zero pressure is paramount. I've read, re read and followed a ton of Lynn on the wiki and this has stood me in good stead.
Remember we're always chasing down a wire edge, so the only reliable test is your face, patience is required here with minimal time on the stone. A pyramid system for me seems to avoid over honing.
