Thanks Steve and Vincent. I'll check out the info/vids you suggested. Fyi, being a newbie I figured I should try to use a honing guide to maintain the right angle when sharpening which was the reason for my question regarding trying to sharpen with a guide on a narrower stone. Not getting a clear pic in my head how that can happen unless I'm doing it freehand with the honing guide in my hand along with a plane iron. :-o
