Hi, I am going to be in NY (manhattan) for the next 3 weeks, and would love to get in touch with someone who can help me get better at honing. I am somewhat new (I can sharpen a blade if the bevel is already set but I still can't set a good bevel). I've got all the stones (1K, 3K, 8K, 12K naniwas) and have a Filarmonica in great condition but the heel is dull, so it needs a new bevel.
So if someone could get together with me and help me sharpen this blade that would be awesome. Seeing how a blade feels after each stage would help immensely.

thanks
