    I'd go with what RezDog suggested. The black spots are "devils spit" or inactive rust with pitting underneath. When they are near the bevel or go down into it they will leave chips on the edge when you start removing metal during honing. You will have to hone until you get good solid steel for the bevel. It takes a bit of work but you should get there.
