Even at 150 it'll take no less than 10 minutes to get out the chip, at least the way i hone. you can speed up honing quite a bit by using pressure, but i'm pretty bad creating uniform pressure and find that i get best results if i use no pressure whatsoever.
You have no idea how much it hurts my heart to know that someone would dare hurt their straight in such a fashion! Kind of reminiscent of how Saddam Hussein treated his subjects!
