|
|
|
|
|

Make | sure | the | stone is afways in contact with the entire | ||||||||||||
length | of | the | rounded | end...do |
| not | just | hone | the | ||||||
poi | nt, |
|
|
|

Honing will | cause a burr to appear on the tip of the tool | ||||||||||||||
which | must | be removed. |
|

|
|
| ||||||
Hold | the | tool | firmly while | carefully | sliding the stone | ||||||||||
straight up and down in the groove on the top side until | |||||||||||||||
the burr is removed. A slight burr may now appear on | |||||||||||||||
the rounded end which must be removed. |

Repeat honing the rounded end and the groove until | |||||||||||||||
the | burr | disappears. |

Always | move | the | stone | in a straight | line...do | not "rock | |||||||||
it," |
| otherwise |
| you | will | "round | over" | the cutting | edge | ||||||
and |
| the | tool | will | be | dull. |
