Hi. While polishing up this blade I had a momentary laps in concentration resulting in a large chip to the edge (still just visible between the words Gentleman's and Razor). I have ground it out but the result is I've lost the rather pronounsed smile.





I'm not too bothered as I still feel it has a pleasing shape except now I've started honing it, the edge is barely contacting the stone in the centre of the blade and there is widening of the bevel at the heel.

What I'm wondering is whether putting the smile back would help, and what is the best way to do it?

Thanks.
