You're going to have to wear away the metal at both ends of the edge. This is where a 1000 grit stone can come in very useful. Drawing circles with the blade on the stone while applying SOME (not a lot) of pressure to the parts of the blade that need reducing. Be careful not to lean the blade toward the tip or heel any more than slightly as it will push the end of the edge back and give you that "stubbed toe" look. This becomes impossible to hone. Lower grit stones may also be used, but can scratch the metal requiring further work with wet/dry sand paper (400, 600, 1000, then 2000. 3000 too is you can find some) to remove. I have also drawn the distended parts of the blade over the edge of the hone, but this is very aggressive. I have even sawn down edges that were real bad straight down on the hone and established the bevel again after. This is beyond aggressive. Just like regular honing start light. If you see any progress being made, stick with it. If you get no improvement attempt something a little more aggressive. Continually check your progress.
