    It depends what you are trying to do. If you are doing major honing pretty much any good honing technique will work as long as you hone asymmetrically. For minor honing and touchups the usual back and forth strokes are appropriate. The original recommendations were a 3:1 ratio but I think many have found differing opinions on that. Some do the 3:1 some do 10:1 and some hone the non shaving side much less than 10:1.

    Like with western honing you find what works best for you.
