To do it, add two layers of electrical insulation tape to the spine. Hone 20 extremely light laps on the coticule with water. This creates a nice and clean microbevel at the edge, and a whole new shot at achieving the sharpness you were after in the first place.
I personally don't like to do the double tape method because then I have to match the bevel on later touch ups, but it will work as you said.
