Bought this ebayer cheap, eyes wide-open knowing it would be a fixer-upper. Sure enough it arrived with 2 ugly nicks out neqr the toe, with some pitting for good measure. Really the pitting isn't near as bad as the pictures show, contrast is bumped up quite a bit.
I decided to see if I could get the nicks out before I put too much elbow-grease into the thing. This is where I stand after working the nicks out on my 1200.








Problem is obvious -- bevel and hone wear are uneven, way deep toward the toe, hardly any near the heel. There's a lot of razor here, pretty good shine left, I think I can buff it up pretty well, but I don't want to start that until I'm pretty sure I can get a better bevel. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
