7. Only after the corners
have a noticeable burr,
begin forward and back
motions along the length
of the edge.
8. Once a small burr is
detectable, begin side to
side motions with the
hone until a burr is
present along the entire
rear edge of the blade.
Keep the hone parallel
with the work surface.
This can take several
minutes.
9. Remove the same amount
of metal along the entire edge. The edge should be straight when the
sharpening is finished.
10. Keep checking the back of the blade during the honing process. There should
be a small burr along the entire length of the edge. If the burr cannot be
detected along the entire length of the edge, turn the blade over and continue
with the hone.
11. After a burr has
developed along
the entire edge,
turn the blade
over and lay it
flat on the
workbench.
12. Hold the brown
triangular fine
soft stone
parallel with the
work surface
and the blade.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to sharpen from the back side (the flat
side) of the blade. This side must be absolutely flat to work with the
die block. Honing an angle from this side will cause the blade to fail.
