I received this Dovo Prima Silver for Christmas and I have tried everything to sharpen it. I am finishing on a Shapton 12k and I've been practicing for 6 months on a Gold Dollar. I am not able to get the Dovo to shave smoothly, it tugs, the hairs on my arm don't "pop", and I was at my wits end until I noticed the spine wear near the stabilizer. There is a high spot on the spine at that point and you can see how it is lifting the blade up, the wear at that point tapers out because the spine is being lifted off the stone. It feels terible when I try to run the stone anywhere near the heel. I don't think its me, I think the blade is malformed. Thoughts?
