    Default Any advice is appreciated...willing to learn as much as possible!


    Well in a post a few weeks back I was unpinning this japanese coral 5/8 full hollow, and learned the keep the blade tight in the scales lesson the hard way, thus the 1-1/2 mm chips that ensued. Well after my DMT 325 came in, and watching Glen's videos on breadknifing alot, I cranked up you tube and followed along. Granted it was slow and it is a wide bevel, but though the crappy lighting doesn't show it the bevel goes all the way to the heel equally front and back. I did jump into the deep end on this one...first time honing as well, but it turned out ok. The razor pops hair at skin level, and I will move it to my nani 1k when I have time this weekend. So any opinions would be good, I want to get as good as I possibly can at honing, and any constructive criticism is appreciated. Learn by doing, and by listening to advice on mistakes you don't see yourself. Last, thank you Glen for the videos, I learned alot and could not have/would not have attempted this without them. You are the man
