A hollow ground or near wedge with the same amount of bevel should hone the same. But if one is warped it can act differently.
I used to feel wedge was harder to hone. But after years i feel its from more of the shape, grind and condition that makes it more work to hone.
Grinds nowadays are done better than i. The old days. That has to have something to do with it.
