I'm wondering if they will smooth out small knicks. My new planer is
leaving strips of uncut wood in line with direction of feed, i.e.
perpendicular to the knives. I am assuming that there is a knick in a
knife. I inspected each one twice but could not see anything. I was hoping
that a few passes with one of those hones might fix it.

Has anyone used one of these blade hones for their jointer or planer that
lets you hone the edge of the knife without removing it from the machine?

Do they work?

Seems to violate one of the principles of honing by making the scratches
parallel to the edge.
