Wow, an hour on the 325. I'm surprised you don't have a toothpick now. Unless you have quite a bit of honing experience Eboy specials can be a challenge however you know it seemed to shave pretty good and then lost its edge so you probably only needed a touchup. The Norton 8K or higher was probably all you needed unless there was edge damage.

So what to do now. You need to resolve the bevel which probably the 4K or equivalent should be able to do and once in good shape on to the 8K. Just take it slow. Once piece of advice when honing. If things aren't going well STOP. Pick it up again another day. Once you get frustrated thats a recipe for disaster.
