Thanked: 156IME & IMO all that damage is due to someone lifting the spine from the hone and honing it that way. I don't think they had electrical tape back then. And thus, you get all sorts of inconsistencies and problems.
Research: And apparently they did not! 1946 was when it became commercially available. Also, I remember reading a post by Lynn stating he thinks the taping thing started with TZ.

Thanked: 286I never use tape but its weird how just one section could be apain in the arse the good thing is i picked up on it but it took a long time to remove the marker on the very edge the bevel was formed but the very cutting edge in one section was just not making contact at least if i come across this problem again i will have a good idea how to tackle it.

Thanked: 156I normally see that problem on smiling blades. Not sure if I ever encountered it on a straight edge. The guy probably used a narrow hone and put more pressure on the middle section while honing the razor like a knife. Usually I use a 220 grit stone to establish the bevel. I consider that work restoration, not honing btw.
At least, thats my semi-informed opinion anyway.
