    Default Razor is extremely sharp at center, but dull at edges:

    Should I use the sweeping honing stroke to correct this?

    edges = toe, heel

    Does the blade make contact with the hone at all points if you lie it flat?

    then yes, a rolling stroke of some sort is what I would use.

    What kind of blade edge is this????

    as in:
    Straight
    Gentle Smile
    Smile
    Big Honking Grin...

    The simple answer is, "whatever stroke keeps the entire edge moving across the hone evenly".. but I can tell you more accurately with more info...

    look here too

    Both sides sit dead flat at spine, cutting edge is slightly more deeply recessed at toe and heal than at center, which I figure is the problem. Easiest solution would be to grind the center back and rebevel and rehone, but I don't want to go through all that if it can be avoided.
