Thanked: 481Maybe a little bit of overkill. But amusing in light of another thread rolling in the conversation section. I even found a video of a real bugler!
I'm sure it'll still turn into a nice shaver. My first one looks about like that...it took a year to get there though lol. Now's a good time to start taping the spine and learning a proper X stroke. And remember to change the tape often. Tape wears faster than steel, and lets the edge roll up off the hone.Last edited by Marshal; 03-22-2017 at 05:51 PM.

First and foremost, I'd Never Ever add to Any Hone Wear on the spine or edge in a attempt to 'Even' things up, it just takes time and practice to learn how to hone a wonky blade or one with uneven hone wear.
A layer of tape or two helps 'slightly' raise the spine and prevents additional unnecessary wear.
Personally I'd put two layers of 3M 700 tape on the spine (yes it is much better than the run of the mill you find in most places) and have a go with it. Use the magic marker on the edge to see what you're doing. Here again the marker is your friend.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.
