Thanked: 2Honing Question
I have a Dovo 6/8 round point and have honed it pretty well, it will shave but pulls a little. Problem is that when I place the razor on the stone for an X pattern stroke the shape of the tang width wise will not allow the heel of the spine to rest on the stone. This leaves me with either starting the razor with the heel on the edge of the stone instead of the middle, which I've done and leaves the first 1/4 inch or so unsharpened; or resting the tang on the stone which falls off mid-stroke and causes the heel to have a different bevel than the toe. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Razor was ordered pre-sharpened from SRD and worked fine so I assume it must be something with technique.
