Possibly an uneven spine on one side or your honing stroke is not consistent in a particular direction. It was harder for me at first coming back at me than going away from me.

What I don't understand though is if the spine is warped, why is the problem on one side only? Wouldn't it manifest at the other side too? Not at the toe obviously, but further back down the edge. I get a nice contact full length on the other side and I have confirmed this under the microscope. On side looks perfect the whole length.
