Hence when polishing on the jnats with a light touch, only the toe and heel were touching the stone.
So then , my next mistake : Thinking I could remedy the problem by using pressure on the 1k and making sure I took even amounts of metal off along the whole of the bevel. That would ensure the ark was still there.
I should have used the 1k with light to no pressure and that would have honed the toe and heel back in line with the middle of the blade.
Either that or there really was a design flaw with the blade.
I suppose it all goes in the "learnt" column :)
