I trued up two skew chisels (that I tried to hone free-hand) with Veritas’ shew honing jig and my Work-Sharp. Worked like a champ, with no geometry involved.

Just curious…how does being naked exacerbate the effects of sticking your hand in a garbage disposal?

There is no cheating in sharpening. There is only sharp and dull.

I cheated and purchased Blum’s sharpening jig, the large one with the flexible blade angle positioned, which in effect, does the same thing. It also allows you to skew the blade, which allows me to sharpen most of my ‘weird’ non-contour type blades.
