I just discovered my video in the "YouTube Knuckleheads thread":
It's not so wrong to use the sharpening steel horizontally ;-)

Hallo Torsten. It's hard for me to remember to try your horizontal honing rod method. I did remember yesterday and it worked quite well for me. Basically just like a whetstone. Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback!

Basically just like a whetstone.

Right and I think the big advantage is that you can estimate and hold the angle much better this way. With "normal" honing, you usually sharpen unconsciously at too great an angle and round the edge more and more.
