    OK bevel's here -more or less- (no tape) but that heel is still a p.i.t.a. - took it to the stones ( coticule / la lorraine / thuri / la lune) - super sharp edge from toe up to halfway the blade ...
    This is where I am stuck... Should I file down the heel ? Any advise is very welcome.
    Cheers

    Yes I think I mentioned that before. If you honed it without addressing the heel it will sharpen at the front & not the heel so much as the stabiliser will lift the heel & create the wrong geometry for the bevel.
    Both the links I gave you have instructions.
