Well I suppose if you're confident in your ability to sharpen a blade, you figure your technique will work for anything made of metal.
Oh, and I am just learning how to hone...Actually I feel like I know everything now. Thank goodness you posted this. I thought I was gonna have to use the search icon again.

Honing will remove metal from the edge. If you hone edge leading, the junk will be scraped off and stay on the hone.

For knives I don't know if it makes much of a difference, but for razor edges it may.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Wow who knew it was that easy. I am not too sure about slicing through a belt every time I hone though.I guess the Jnat was just too pretty to risk putting metal to it. Now I just need to follow these directions about 45-50 times to get all my razors nice and sharp. Who is going to add the 3 finger test to the Wiki? I suppose all the honemeisters will be going broke now that the secret is out.

Obviously a knife guy & not a razor guy. I hope none of our "guys" try this silly method, kind of like honing on a concrete cinder-block.

Thank you and God Bless, Scott

Today I learned the three finger test!
I also learned that the 75.00 strop I bought, can be replaced with a newspaper.
I can use my coffee table to remove any burrs on the blade; just have to find a section that the ole lady won't notice.

I only made it 34 seconds in. When somebody talks about themselves in third person, I hit the X.
