Bought the Handyman system at the Indianapolis show. Wow!. Had pretty good luck sharpening old knives - could cut paper like video, etc.
My question is that I seem to have a LOT of little black particles coming off the honing wheel. How long should I be honing? How much pressure? Also, I am a periodic user only, so how much should I be re-conditioning the honing wheel after a period of time (2-4 weeks) - both mineral oil and honing compound?
