You probably figured this out already but you need to smooth everything out the way you want it and then file a bevel into the blade and then you can sharpen it. Those first 2 stones you picked up are for sharpening. The dark colored one with the diamond pattern on it is for flattening and maintaining the sharpening stones. Bismuth is pretty soft I don't know how well it would hold and edge so I wouldn't waste my time sharpening it often.

[@VikingExploration60]

The black flattening stone you were using to try and flatten the blade, is actually for flattening the sharpening stones to make sure they are perfectly flat for use, you also have to soak the stones in water for about 5 minutes before use, put the 800 grit stone into the rubber base squares and then put the whole thing into the wooden base. What I should point out is that these stones are for sharpening hardened steel knifes and not a soft metal like Bismuth, you will probably just end up clogging the stones. To hack away the amount of metal you need to remove you need a belt sander.
