Are you one of those guys with slabs of meat that are only referred to as "hands" due to their location at the ends of your arms? I have noticed that guys who have a preference for bigger blades due to how much more comfortable they are to hold, have a habit of using too much pressure to keep the spine on the hone when working the little guys. and conversely, when they are so used to the big blades staying on the hone by sheer weight, they oft times lift the spine without realizing it.
You have way more experience than I with the hones, but I would be happy to take a turn with one, and see if I can bring it up to snuff.
