    Default Honing pressure

    I saw a post about the amount of pressure used when stropping and wondered if anyone has ever put a quantified measure of what is heavy, moderate, light to no pressure when honing. If one of the really experienced honers had one of those food scales that could be zeroed out when something is place on it like a hone then we (new to honing) people would have an idea of what amount of pressure to use. I know that the amount used would vary slightly according to each persons technique but could give a starting or reference point. Anyway if one of the experts is bored and wanted to play around with a hone and a scale please post the results for us. It would be really helpful if more than one honer did this so we could see the range of responses for each amount of pressure. I know I would be really interested in the results.
