Draw a pencil line 1" away & parallel from the edge of your hone & only hone on that area. You will need to rock & roll your x stroke to make contact but at 1k you should get both sides to meet altho the bevel width will vary.
Make sure the edge of your stone is smooth & chamfered also. Can you visualise what I mean ? The toe of the razor will make little if any contact with the opposite side of the stone.
I think I see what you're saying. Basically use the right 1/3 of the hone (I'm right handed) and use and x-stroke, right?
