    I say it and say it and say it

    Learn to hone from the top down, but nope the "Grind'r till ya learn" is ingrained so deep it is useless

    Learn to strop
    Learn to maintain/refresh your edge, Many people never need to learn more
    Walk your way slowly down the honing ladder if needed
    The very last thing you should attempt is a Bevel set, that way you understand the "Touch" you need and the goal you're after


    Or don't listen, and go grind out a few spines, and hone with heavy hands, like so many other have done before you
