I picked up a blade in pretty bad shape to practice my honing skills. Things are progressing pretty well. There was a slight frown in the blade: about three eights of an inch long. Most of the frown is gone and one side of the blade is developing a pretty good bevel but on the other side where a hit of the frown remains the blade is not contacting the hone.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Worse case I can still use this to practice the light back and forth of honing.

Thanks.
