Howdy all,

When I received my le gelot I never paid any real attention to the slightly ove worn middle of the spine.

Today when I was honing I noticed how the spine was worn just a bit more in that spot.

I tried to keep the blade as flat as possible to not create anymore uneven wear.

Should I have been using tape on the spine?

If I decide to hone with tape would I need to recreate the bevel when or if I decide to stop using the tape.

Any tips or tricks to help with the hone wear would be appreciated.
