Draw a pencil line one inch from, and parallel to, the hone's edge that is closest to your honing hand. Now imagine that one inch strip to be your narrow hone. Focus your honing ONLY on that one inch strip exactly as if it only is a one inch wide hone.
Now that you have a set narrow hones, you will need to learn how to use them. When you do, your honing contact issue will disappear.
