I used my Thuringian stone for the first time tonight, and it seemed to be pretty successful. I just had a couple of questions about the technique.
I am using the coticule from slurry to water, then going to the Thuringian. About how many laps should I be doing on the finishing stone?
Also, this stone is very short compared to the coticule. I assumed I should just be making a quicker "x" from heel to toe when I am honing. Is there anything I should know about honing technique for a narrow and short stone?
Thanks for the help.
