Blade tolerance
How much tolerance is given for a blade to sit flat on a lapped hone. I don't think any blade is perfectly flat on both sides, so there must be some tolerance? What's a good rule of thumb? Is this why the x-stroke is used on honing, to make sure every part of the blade hits the hone surface given that it's not perfectly flat?
