filet knives

[thats sharp]

Anyone have ideas on how to get a good sharpening on a thin blade fillet knife? I have tried to use both the short and long jigs and also purchased the extra jig for smaller knives but I cannot seem to get the angle sorted out. I seem to always be making contact between the jig and wheel.
Can an extension of some sort be added to one of the jigs which would allow the knife to stay ahead of the jig? I'm seeing a lot more of these knives since our salmon season has arrived. Not complaining tho....

Do it by hand.

Those long tapering blades on the cheap Finnish knives like you buy at Wally World really have to be done by hand.
