Thanked: 39To me this too looks like there had been a chip or so. There is not too much honewear.
I would leave it as it is. If You reduce it to flat, You'll loose a lot of metal and get into an area where the blade gets thicker.
You can cut off the toe, but this way You will also loose a lot of material and the scales will be too long and this option is still available, when You try to rehone the way it is.
I'm not a honing expert, but lately worked on an old Ben Hur that has a good smile on the toe. I did rolling x-Strokes and a bit of wiping at the end of the stroke and it turned out quite well.
Just do a few very slow very light stokes on a finishing stone and follow the blade in order to find the movement necessary for the actual stroke
