What you don't seem to have considered is whether this could be a problem blade - the fact that it is a limited edition does not ensure that it doesn't suffer from manufacturing problems. The fact that you have a narrow bevel at one end could be caused by an uneven spine and could easily be the cause of the problem rather than your lack of honing skills.

If you don't mind me saying, your quote above suggests you may never learn soon enough to avoid a very costly error. Someone with more experience may have spotted a problem that was bad enough to have it replaced by the manufacturer - your inexperienced attempts may give the manufacturer cause to reject a claim.

I would seriously reconsider your statement - and get it evaluated by a professional.
