I started using skews in January and have been honing with a fine diamond hone between sharpening. I have not used the hone too much (I’ve made maybe 2 dozen wands for my kids and neighbors), but it feels like it is worn out and doesn’t really give me a new edge anymore like it used to. I was wondering how often you typically have to replace your honing tool, for those that use them.
I have been using dry, should I have used lapping fluid or water? Maybe I’m pressing too hard?
Here is the tool I’ve been using, though I think I’ll try the blue Eze-Lap tool that some have mentioned.
