Like most Kamisori it is about Pressure shift while honing,, I found this one to be about normal IMHO

Unlike western style razors that you can create "Torque" toward the edge with a twist of the Tang you have to use your fingers and a shifting pressure to apply torque while honing Kamisori...
Once the bevel is set evenly then you are good to go, you can see when people do not understand that concept by looking at the wear on the Hump and the top of the spine on so many Kamisori out there

You should see the one I just re-ground I am trying to get a before pic
