hi again !
i fixed with all help from you guys,but i dont want to do wrong igen, what should i do now. :)
Please tell me you didn't bread knife the whole bevel that you had?
If you didn't it looks good!
If you did, that isn't going to hone up for you IMO. The spine and edge need to wear together. It's hard to tell how wide that bevel was but if it was an 1/8" and you bread knifed it :( if it was a 1/16" or less might be okay.
If you honed that bevel out, I would think you would be all right, but I'm thinking you didn't because I don't see any wear at the spine.
Maybe I'm wrong....hope I am
If you decide to continue I would use at least 2 layers of evenly applied electrical tape and set your bevel using Lynn's system circles and X's, TNT, TPT before moving on to the next grit
Wedges are a PITA
What I see bothers me because the edge curves up toward the toe about half the blade length. It also looks uneven wear at the spin in the corresponding location.
3 layers of tape, change the top layer if it wears. Check the bevel. Wear in a top layer good, add another on top. Change only the top layer from here on in. It has worked great on old,wonky big wedge blades for me. YMMV
I'll translate.
" I hope you didn't rub the blade on a stone like you are trying to cut through it and removed all the metal from your previous attempt. I hope I am wrong but if you have, you have made it worse and really messed up the geometry of the blade making it shave ready now will be almost impossible.
If you decide to continue tape the spine with two layers of tape and use lyns system. Wedges can be a pain in the are (PITA)"
As for me, sorry I don't understand how you did that damage to start with and I have no idea if it will shave again. I'll leave that advice to the experts. Me personally, I'd want to understand what the hell went so wrong to start with before I did anything else ;)
I think if you post the photos of the edge head on as I described we'll be able to help.

Hi Guys!
i honed it with 3 layre tape, fixed a small bevel , the line beside bevel is light from camera, it passed HHT and give me a nice shaving, tanks for every help from you guys. thanks again :) :) :)
Well I've just been a lurker in this thread because I don't hone yet. Was hoping to learn something. After seeing the initial damage I like others was trying to figure out what went wrong. The end result looks nice an MUCH better. Glad you was able to save it. I thought it was as pixel said a box cutter. Congrats an way to stick with it.
Glad to hear,if she shaves well, thats all that counts:)
