[quote quote=10772]If you are finding your narrow chisels are becoming skewed then I would suggest you lighten up on the pressure. I’ve honed my straight razors for years and frequently find people just learning to hone apply way too much pressure. I’m thinking the same thing applies to narrow chisels, there is not alot of metal and the less pressure should lead to more control of the chisel over the stone.[/quote]
I can attest to this, I had the problem with the skewed chisels when I started with Paul’s method. But with the help of many from the forum I lighten up the pressure while sharpening and have not had any problem after that.
