A New blade only needs honing

Hone just the tip of the back.

Tiny ruler is a huge time saver.

Lifting the iron’s back off the stone lets you polish only a thin band at the cutting edge, instead of the entire back.

The work is done with just 10 to 20 passes on an 8,000-grit stone.

Honing on the 1,000-grit stone eliminates a narrow band of metal near the cutting edge.

A few passes on the 8,000-grit stone creates the highly polished exterior required for a sharp edge.

Use the 30° stop on the board to set the iron in the honing guide.

Four or five passes on the 1,000-grit stone should be enough to raise a burr on the iron’s back.

Take a handful of passes on the 8,000-grit stone to create a highly polished narrow band at the tip.

Lastly, repeat the ruler trick to eliminate any remaining burr on the back.

Test the edge.

Replace the iron and set it for a light cut.

See-through shavings should be the result.
