This was my first honing of a near wedge. At first it was frustrating because I thought I could evenly wear the upper hone line and the blade edge. As I continued on I began to notice some lines where it appeared that it had been hone before but the lines where way up from the bottom and way down from the top on the blade surface. I did not use tape as I had read that it was better in the long run to take the extra time. Once I got over the fact that this was going to take time, and I got brave on removing steel good things began to happen. I was beginning to feel the blade edge getting sharper. I continued to progress through my stones and it happened I had an edge that would pass the HHT. I still need to make a set of scales before I can shave with it. So since this is my first attempt at a near wedge any comments to learn from are welcome.
