Hi Peter
Please post some pics. Getting a frown is bad.
OTOH, it may be blade geometry. Having the bevel exactly symmetrical is desired but some blades will not allow such.
Is it a smiler?
Is the bevel widening the same on both sides of the blade and at the same spot.
Using a straight edge, test the blade for any curves.If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

Thanked: 4825Glen has a stroke that I use quite often. It is in his videos, a heel leading stroke with a swoop at the end.

Inconsistent bevel width, probably an inconsistent spine.

2 are the problems: or geometry problem on spine or you do too pressure with your finger on blade at middle

Is the problem the same on both sides of the blade? If the wear is the opposite on the other side, then it may well be a bent spine. Rolling-X on a narrow piece of real estate would work well there.
