No oil on the ceramic sticks

Average pass, as you suggested, it depends on the condition of the blades primary and secondary edges, the steel and the heat treat. Usually I'll take a butter knife to scary sharp in 5 minutes using the diamond stones first, then the course ceramics. If it's sharper than a butter knife, less time.
