Problem with Scandi edge sharpening

I have a Mora that I had to sharpen after I chipped/rolled the edge cutting a cardboard box. I must have hit a staple or so. Anyway, I took a diamond stone and marked the whole Scandi edge black before I started. I noticed that (even on the straight part of the grind) that the black marker was not taken off equally off the bevels? I find it quite difficult to keep the bevel flush on the stone in the belly area but it's quite easy on the straight part. So, I wonder if the Scandi grind is not perfectly flat (so a tiny bit hollow?) Shall I keep grinding on the diamond stone until it's all ground flat or is it the stone that is not flat?
I hope that's not too confusing!
Thanks Andy
 
get a piece of glass and some 3m wetordry sandpaper in 280,320,400 grit and work the blade progressing throug the grits until you get it flat and a burr forms. then strop off the burr until its sharp.
 
Factory made Moras may be ground/sharpened on a large wheel. This leads to a slight hollow grind.
