I see....its a Dovo.! Now I understand why the issues.
Their quality control.....well, it sucks, TBH.
every razor I've honed of theirs, including mine, has had issues with the stabilizer not being ground properly near the spine, which causes the heal to lift off the hone, and cause a frown in the blade.
Look how thick the blade is at the heal, compared to the toe. More like a wedge at the heal, and hollow ground at the toe. Kind of.
The main issue I've found was the shoulder of the stabilizer at the spine is not ground flat with the spine, it steps up as it flows into the tang.
You can see the heavy wear in the pic. By grinding that out ( as it is now) it will allow the blade to sit flat on the hone, as should be.
At least that's what I've ran into, with the dozen or so, I've honed. Don't see this with the vintage Dovos, just the more modern ones.Mike
