I am trying to hone a razor that has a bow in it and it's giving me fits. To describe it's like you grabbed the blade at each end with your thumbs in the middle and pushed with your thumbs. This is creating a bevel that is very wide in the middle of the blade on one side and almost non-existent on the other side.

I am using a 3" wide stone and a normal X pattern doesn't seem to work and a rolling X isn't working either.

Do I need to use a very narrow stone for this blade or is it acceptable to have a different width bevel?
