Thread: Too sharp?

It's referred to as over honed. It's quite uncommon, but it would happen a lot to me when I started messing with CrOx. Could also be an imperfection in the balsa flatness.

Basically, you are tearing away at the edge in some way at some point in your honing. It is not a big error, but more a slight problem, and an unusual one, on the learning curve.

The edge becomes brittle or too thin to support itself.

sometimes correctible by stropping.
