Best way to hone this blade
Hello members,
I have a question which I hope someone can help with. I have this blade, and I am not sure how to hone it:

It the curve in the blade intentional? It is some sort of smile, and as you can see from the third picture, the toe is wider than the heel. It is 6/8 at the toe, 5/8 at the heel. It is a heavy blade (1/2 hollow? 1/4 hollow?), and the narrowing of the blade towards the heel appears to follow the profile of the grind.
I have a hunch it could be a good one, and I am not an experienced honer, so I would like to proceed cautiously.
Many thanks!
