I bought a single edge from ebay, but I find it very hard to hone. If I only hone on the hollow side, the other side builds up this little metal curve, like I guess you can experience with overhoning.

But on the flat side its not so flat at all, and I find this side hard to hone, because I have to hold the edge at an angle on the hone.

How should I hone a single edge?

(and when sharpened, how should I shave with it? Only using the hollow side?)

PS: Sorry if wrong place for thread.
