Thread: Any videos of honing a W&B

Are there any honing videos showing how to hone a Large smiling blade where a rolling X is needed to maintain contact with the hone?

You can also utilize the "Half moon stroke". Just like it sounds with the heel as a pivot point. Like sharpening a scimitar.

Rolling X stroke, moon strokes, circles, etc. Alternate trying different stokes and you should hit the hone fine. Test the areas of the blade often.
