Thread: Should I try to tackle this (very difficult, IMHO) challenge?

We touched on this earlier, but perhaps a little elaboration may help you.

You don’t have to make full blade width strokes every time. Often, especially when making repairs, which are what you are doing, concentration honing is helpful in focusing on a specific area, heel or toe.

Just do back and forth strokes on the same area of the bevel to make the correction, whatever it takes. You may end up with a faceted edge but that can easily be blended with a smooth X stroke.

So spend some time on the heel and toe until you get a good strong edge there, then blend.

If you hone the heel and toe the middle will follow.
