Hone wear is not a bad thing. It is a normal occurence that will eventually happen to all razors when honed without taping the spine.
Here is a decent example of something that you would want to avoid:
Bad Hone Wear
That razor has a lot of uneven hone wear, and also a slight frown. You would not want to pick that up and expect great results without lots of experience in fixing those issues, and especially not at that price.
However, razors with hone wear such as the Wade & Butcher pictured above, are acceptable levels of hone wear. There are good and bad hone wears. The W&B above is normal/good hone wear. The linked razor here in this post, is not good hone wear. Keep an eye out for the telltale signs of good and bad hone wear and you will be OK.
