I started honing this on my 12k M5 ceramic. One layer of tape. Good and slow :D. Using Alex's pyramid with x-strokes, I did probably 10 sets or so. Checking the edge under magnification every other set... A taper to the bevel... Most notably: when backside is on the hone (face side up), the toe does not touch the hone, even though the spine does...
The bevel.
Mostly even on the face side, but a slight bit thinner towards the heel. On the back side, however, there is a healthy new bevel at the heel; but nearly non-existent at the toe.

So... any particular hone acrobatics maneuvers I should try to remedy this? Once I noticed the twist, I started using my thumb to press the toe against the hone. Only got one or two sets done doing that before the wife beckoned, ending that honing session :angel:.
Looking forward to your thoughtful responses!
