Thread: help with honing #41 SS Dovo blade

gssixgun--- I am definately going to try this. I really appreciate this helpful and practical advice. And the rationale of the "snowplow" evening the road makes a good mental image. I am assuming that I should start out on 1000 grit for this. I'm also assuming that adding pressure after taking one layer of tape off is to compensate for reducing the angle. When you say to change the tape again for 20 finishing laps, are you talking a bout later on the finishing hone or again on the rougher stone? I usualy follow your video by doing one tape for bevel, one for sharpening, one for polishing. BTW, I really appreciate your youtube videos. They are a big part of getting me back into the hobby and for helping me do my first really successful honing jobs.

Follow the Video after the initial two layer re-set, on the 1k stone, that is the only difference... You are going to use two layers to clear out the crap then start again
