    Been wondering about this, mostly because of two videos where I've seen the technique used. One is Harrelson Stanley in the Perfect Edge DVD, who called it "joining the bevel" (or somesuch), and the other is Mastro Livi doing it in a honing video here
    .

    Anyhow, far from damage repair, both of them did it as part of the regular honing process. Harrelson did it ultra gently, but M. Livi actually seemed to bear down a little!

    So what's up with all that? I've been meaning to ask.

    EDIT: Nevermind, just saw M. Livi answer that exact question in the comments. He said it was done after the coarse hone "to remove the dead steel". I'm assuming this means knocking off a wire edge.
