Thread: Blade correction

Yes, you are on the right track but will need to be more aggressive with the cut. The goal is to move the heel corner, (where the straight edge stops and starts to curve) forward of the stabilizer about a ¼ inch.

The razor looks to have lost a lot of blade width. The wide stabilizer will cause an issue and you will need to put a sever curve into the heel to move the heel corner well forward of the stabilizer. Blue Arrow is where corner ends now, Red Arrow where it needs to be to avoid stabilizer. It may look a bit wonky but should take an edge.

It also looks to have a frown, caused by honing on the stabilizer. Removing the frown will remove even more blade width.

Fixing beaters is exactly what you want to do to learn how to make these repairs. Just take your time, the metal is thin and comes off quickly.

Did you use a heel forward X stroke? You must keep the heel on the stone at least halfway or you will not hone the heel. To hone the toe, you will likely need to lift the heel off the stone a bit to hone around the curve of the toe. Get a red sharpie and ink the bevel, with colored ink you can easily see your progress without magnification.
