Thread: Dead spot?

From the pics,,, I agree it looks like you are getting good even contact, the heel is going to need a small bit of correction probably on the next time honing..

I would work the bevel set a bit more, I would also try adding 1 layer of tape more, this will effectively create a double bevel and a slightly steeper bevel, see if that gives a shaving edge
I will link a good thread with some ideas on getting past honing issues also it might give some more ideas for you
