Should I Hone After Sharpening?
Yes, honing after sharpening is recommended to achieve a finer, sharper edge on your blade. Honing helps to align the microscopic teeth on the edge of the blade, which can become misaligned during sharpening. Honing with a fine grit stone or ceramic rod will help to polish the edge and refine any rough spots left from sharpening. This will result in a sharper, more precise cutting edge that will stay sharp longer.
