Thread: Correcting blade geometry... your preferred solution?

I see I'm the first one to go for a lot of honing so I guess I'll try to explain. Off course this isn't my go to method, if a roling X-stroke works on a smiling edge for instance I'll simply use that, and sometimes with a very slightly bent spine a thin hone can work but I don't realy like that solution.

when correcting a slightly bent spine with a lot of honing the bevel will not look even (on one side you'll see a smile and on the other a frown) and you will see a similar patren on the spine, you can see this in the pictures below, personally I don't mind the honewear and this solution allows for easy tutch-ups

here you can see thick honewear in the middle on the spine

here the main hone were is near the heal and toe
