Hnt gordan blade sharpening
Hey guys with BD plane blades in hnt gordan could you use the ruler trick for the back of the blade? What are your thoughts on sharpening bevel on water stones push or pull?
cheers

You do not need the Ruler Trick on HNT Gordon blades. I have never found a need here.
The RT, which is David Charlesworth's excellent strategy, is wonderful for blades that are not flat on the back, such as vintage or crappily made or inadequately ground blades. O1 steel is most vulnerable here. It is unnecessary on blades with flat backs, and you will create more work if you add the RT to a flat back - with one provisor, and this is a BU plane. But that is another matter.
The HNT Gordon blades, of which I have several, come perfectly flat. They are among the best prepared blades around. So, just sharpen the bevel, polish the back, insert, and go.

Mark, I start with a 30 degree hollow grind, and then side-sharpen freehand directly on this.
