Knife Shapening

I would not think it should be that difficult.  Are you getting the same result with different knives?  Are your knives Shun, vintage Case XX kitchen knives or some other super hard steel blades?  Any brand names / model numbers on them?

I have been working with Saneli knives and one Tupperware Japanese steel knife.
With all the help here that I have to work with I am sure I will get there.

At least for this knife

the steel is not especially hard, 54-56 HRC, so that should not give you any difficulty. Can't find info on Tupperware knives.

Normally you get get a sharp edge very quickly.  Let us know how it goes!

   I did some Japanese Tupperware knives at one time. They were made of decent steel as I recall. Did them on the diamond DMT Aligner so don't know how they would have responded to the Tormek.

Something ive notified is that you normaly press harder with your dominant hand, that is if your right handed the edge might be bigger on that side
