Good morning Gentlemen. This is my second attempt at a restore, as you can see, (or maybe not, sorry for the crappy pictures, my only camera is my laptop's), this is a 5/8 wedge carbon steel blade with a smile. I'm in the process of removing some nicks from the edge and I would like to continue to hone to shave readiness. This is my first wedge and also my first smiley blade so I thought I could use some advice from you more experienced guys. As you can see it rounds up at the tip, I'm doing a rolling x stroke and at the same time a slight curve at the hone length but the tip does not touch the hone this way and I would like to get it sharpened. I use 3 layers of tape. So, I would like to know how you guys would hone it. Thanks.
