This was a great question and for someone else in the process of learning honing quite valuable!
I appreciate sites like this because it not only is fun to hear about what others do and also to see that many people have similar interests.
It is either where the bevels are not meeting, a chip or rolled edge.
Looking straight down on the edge and turn the blade a few degrees either direction, the light will reflect where the bevels are not meeting, no matter how small.

Oh I see..
I was referring to some thing els.. One of my blades the toe end dosnt seem to hit the finer hones so I add a little pressure or do what I can to get that tip on the hone.
That normally leaves bits that reflect light on the very edge, under the microscope its just a shiny spot .
