    Default 45 degree honing on a meat chopper

    My first time honing an old wade & butcher chopper blade was successful. I held it flat against the hone and got great results but I hear 45 degree honing saves the spine.??? I realize that I've moved a little metal on the spine that could have stayed. I considered taping but that seems like an extra step.

    I think you might be a little confused

    45 degree heel forward, the spine is still on the hone

    Taping may be an "extra step", but it stops steel being removed from the spine that can never be replaced.

    I like rolling x stroke motion. Thank you. Also, I realize that honing becomes a little obessive when it's being done correctly.
