    Well as it turns out I had to sand and hone and sand and hone about 4 times to get it this close. It was the thickness of the blade near the bevel and not the spine. I got a 180grit flap wheel and taped off all but the thick part near the top of the bevel. Sand a little with the flap wheel, sand a lot by hand and then give it a few laps on the 1000k to see what the bevel looked like. I could still see thick parts which made the bevel look wavy and tall in spots at the top so went over it again. As I said I had to do that about 4 times to get it this close. I went at it a couple of more times by hand and I think I have got it very close. I am afraid of going to far and chasing it back and forth so this is it. Now I am trying to decide if I want to mirror it out or put a more dull or satin finish on it before I give it a final hone and test. Then the scales........
