i wont be able to sharpen anything until this weekend, I have been sharpening mainly hunting and fillet knives, I have had some luck but i have also had a number of occasions where I dig the edge into the stone, if it keeps up I will need a new stone in no time

Thank you I will try

When sharpening a knife I have had the knife edge dig into the stone and "kickback" against my hand and damage the surface of the stone. What am I doing wrong am I lifting the jig off of the support, any comments would be appreciated.

thanks, I will give it a try

When I measure the angle on a small knife and adjust the jig I am actually girding the jig. Is this caused by trying to sharpen a knife that is too small or am I just setting it up incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Ken, I hope I get good enough at sharpening that I actually have to worry about cutting my finger, believe me as of now I have no worries about cutting myself, I have a better chance of winning the lottery and I dont buy tickets

Thanks for the response I wont try to sharpen anything my wife is fond of.

I recently purchased a T 7 to use for knife sharpening. I have a question about the japanese waterstone wheel. Can I use this wheel for knife sharpening and does it eliminate the use of the leather honing wheel. I am new to all of this so forgive my question if it is stupid.
