No contact with toe, one side only.
I have a new to me tanifuji I have dulled and am setting a new bevel. I have noticed that the toe, one side only, is not making contact with the stone. Placing the blade on the stone (lapped) I can make it tilt by pressing on the edge at the toe but only on one side. The other side sits flat. The blade has an even edge and spine wear so I am not sure what is happening here. I don't have a lot of experience with honing.
Just wanting to confirm the best way to fix this. I would say I need to stay on the 1k until the toe does make contact. Is that correct? Just honing on that one side would be a bad idea I take it so matching strokes on both sides until all the edge touches full length? I also figure tape is going to make things worse because steel needs to come off the spine to flatten it out right?
Thanks for your advice.
