oh boy, here we go again.... ;)
I think Norbert backhones with stainless blades. The reasoning behind it being that stainless steel is more brittle so you don't want the edge to be too thin or it will break off.
Backhoning moves material towards the edge.
At least that's my interpretation. But what do I know....

We have a sharpening treatise in the documents by a professor Verhoeven where he actual found that to be the case. But he also found that normal honing produces a sharper edge.Quote:

My site is to a treatise by a college professor on sharpening.Quote:

No, it is not the Dovo manufacturing video. This is one that is archived on the main site of SRP
