Hi Ben, one thing that puzzles me if you can advise please? If you use a hollow grind and then hone, the effective bevel is actually quite small. When 'riding the bevel' before engaging the cutting edge, does this mean that the tool is harder to use than if the whole bevel was completely flat (which I know is in itself not ideal as it slows down sharpening).
