I gave up on a poorly ground Ralph Aust. It was the most uneven bevel I’d ever seen. The bevel did a disappearing trick along the length changing from full width in the heel and toe to zero contact in the middle. The other side was the reverse. It was impossible to hone on wide hones.Oh dear… I thought I was free of this thing but now you’ve all got me second guessing. Perhaps…. I could try again???
Has anyone had a blade they just can’t hone , even when you’re much more experienced than I am? Are all blades, even wonky TI’s , honable??
On narrow hones you can hone pretty much anything. Photos are always helpful.
