Looking good. The only thing I can see that could be corrected easily is a small heel hook.

This small high spot in the heel. Will cause issue when honing. I am not sure how it is caused but I think it is fixed by reshaping the heel. Originally Posted by STF

Yuo. You can quickly fix that with a 1K diamond plate. A few swipes should flatten it out and then you can reshape the bevel.

It can also affect the bevel because the hook makes a high spot and the area just before the heel won't reach the stone. It is caused by improper honing. It's normally either a straight stroke or not getting the entire bevel on the stone.... Plus it's just ugly.

Yes, the small high spot at the heel is a heel hook. They can be subtle or glaringly obvious and are the result of improper honing. They can be fixed using a diamond plate to reshape the heel radius moving the heel forward away from the stabiliser. Not a huge job and easily done.
