Just received an eBay purchase today, and it needed honing, so I took it to may lapping films to set a bevel.

After about 200 passes with minimal pressure, I am noticing the start of a bevel, but only in the middle of the blade, not near the tow or heel.

The blade looks to have a slight smile to it, with a significant curl upwards at the toe.

Thoughts?

Sorry, but I do not have pics to show, yet.
