Hint:

If you are going use it to learn with then at least learn the correct way...

Look at the first pic, see the way the original edge had a slight smile that followed the spine ???
Breadknifing it into a straight profile like you did means that now when you hone it you are going to be fighting the original geometry,, you should have at least breadknifed it gently following the original smile...

There are multiple threads on here about doing it,,

Now you are going to have to waste even more steel to bring it back into profile... basically what you have done it flattened out the old belly, the heel has to be re-contoured also ...
