    Check out this video here of Lynn honing at the latest meetup and you will see him setting the bevel. IME it is desirable for the bevel to be equal on either side but in the real world it depends on the blade being correctly ground and the spine not being either flattened from incorrect honing or warped. IOW, sometimes it may be uneven i.e. wider at one end or the other or on one side or the other.

    If the blade is ground evenly and not damaged by prior incorrect honing you can work circles on one side to even out the bevels from side to side but in general the narrower the bevel the better.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
