Thanks. For me, it is all about the bevel. Pressing down on places where the bevel is weak will wear the tape and bevel at that point(using circles some) and make the bevel wider at that point. Smoothing out with honing for another look. The straighter and more even and smaller you can get the bevel, the better. Irregardless of what the wear on the tape looks like, the 3rd layer will become the workhorse! Some old dudes honed one side way heavier than the other!
