kamisori honing advice needed
A while ago I picked up this kamisori for cheap, because I wanted to try one but didn't want to spend much. It needed to be honed, and I figured I was up to the challenge because I've successfully honed my Hoshi Tombo 6000, which has an asymmetrical grind.
Anyways, once it was on the 1k, I noticed that the toe on the back side wasn't making contact. There's a fair amount of hone wear, which doesn't help. In the photo, hopefully you can see the spot I mean, it's darker because of the marker test.

If this were a normal razor I'd do a rolling x stroke, but that doesn't seem to work with this grind. And in order to make the two bevels meet, it seems to me that I'd need to take off an awful lot of metal. Unless I did a weird stroke with the spine off of the hone, which I'm not really willing to do.
So how would you overcome this problem? Is it possible to fix?
If it's not realistic to hone it out I won't be too broken up, I spent very little money on this razor. But it would be a shame, nonetheless.
Thanks!
