Question: How do I hone the back of my chisel ?
Options:
Start with a lubricated stone with a coarse grit, and slide the bevel of the chisel back and forth in a smooth motion over the stone. When the entire flat surface shows the intricate scratches of the stone's course grit, do the same thing with the medium grit, and again with the fine.The flat side is finished when it's as reflective as a mirror.
