If it works, you're doing it right.

I have a question about sharpening in general. I have used the scary
sharp method with amazing results on cheap chisels as well as my plane
irons. What I need to know is if I'm doing it correctly. My question
is: Do you both push the blade down the paper as well as pull it
back, or do you only move the blade in one direction (eg push the
blade down the paper)? I know that when I sharpen my kitchen knives
that I only hone in one direction, but wanted to verify the same
information for chisels and irons.

TIA
Bill
