Tried to get an edge on this and it is WAY BEYOND my skill level.
I have honed a couple of others I have gotten with pretty good results but this is a DIFFERENT animal!

It's a good idea to try setting a bevel pre restoration. Can save a lot of work if you know straight up front what the steel & geometry's like.
