When i flip the blade over, and look at the opposing bevel i've got the opposite. Narrow at the toe and wide at the heal. The Spine is in almost pristine condition. This leads me to believe i have a slightly "twisted" blade. Any thoughts on getting an even bevel from heal to toe? If it is twisted, i wonder if someone got a little too aggressive with a posishing wheel or something like that and heated the blade enough to inflict a little twist to it.
