The blade road is from the shinogi line down to the edge. You just lay the knife down flat on it. Also, no. None of what you just said made any sense. :razz:
Dave explained it better than I did - I was having troubles hitting the blade road and was trying to ask if hanging the knife off the side of the stone would be okay to do.
I've found it's safer to the appearance of the knife to hang the section of the blade that you're not working with off of the side of the stone. So in this case you're working lengthwise down the edge of the stone vs corner to corner.
With this knowledge I think I'll be able to touch up the knife and make it look better. However cutting wise it's great! I'm probably worrying about this all too much and should just try to have fun learning.
