The plan of attack i've been running through my mind, for knives and razors, is to keep making full passes to take the whole blade down little by little to reach the desired bevel. But not having put steel to belt yet, i'm not sure if it will work that way.
I'm going to need a bigger bathroom

I would concentrate on the two sides of the wheel, maybe a half inch in from either side. I would put the pressure behind where I want to grind, the spine-middle-ish. The tricky part is not canting the the blade one way or the other, it is easy to gouge the blade with corner of the wheel.
The way that I have ruined a lots of blades is by putting pressure on the portion of the blade that is not supported by the wheel and gouging the blade. The two inch dip is my nemesis.

Like Charlie, I've ruined blades that way.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Thanks for all the advice fellas.
Second time's a charm
I decided to concentrate on getting the grind right and not waste time sanding off the heat treat scale. I actually quite like the rustic look.
It's honed up to 12k, stopped on chromium oxide and finished on plain leather.
I'm off for a Shave!!

The bevel looks perfect Mike just like I like them really small and neat.

You will have to round off the heel Mike I personally don't mind a sharp toe though as I only use square points.

Yeah it's pretty lethal at the moment but I like living on the edge
