Thread: First honing attempt; 12K, blade jumpy on one side.

It sounds like you have a spot on the bevel that is angled differently than the rest of the blade edge. It's really hard for me to explain what I'm saying. Basically, if there's a portion of your blade edge that isn't in the same plane as the rest of the bevel, it will cause it to do something that could be described as you described it. I won't say I think that's definitely what it is. But it's what I would suspect.
