Trying to set a bevel on a 5/8 Edwin Blyde that I bought the other day (looks like 1/4 hollow) and I'm having trouble. I'm findin that I can get a bevel on most of the length of the blade except the last centimetre or so at the heel. I keep working away at it and it seems to be improving but I'm starting to get an uneven bevel along the rest of the blade as a result (on one side, the bevel is really wide in the middle of the blade).

I started of with circles and am now mostly doing x-strokes with pressure on the heel but there's not much going on. Any advice on how to rectify the situation?


Cheers!
