Advice on honing a smiling wedge.
I decided I'd challenge myself by trying to restore and hone up a rusted up old Joseph Rodgers 6/8 true wedge. It had so much hone wear that I needed to use five layers of tape to get a bevel set. I managed to get a good bevel set all along the blade except for the half inch on the toe. It seems to me that the blade is less ground there and that I'm having a really hard time getting the edge to consistently contact the stone. Anyone have any tips on how to deal with that?
