To avoid spoiling the tip when sharpening a knife with a work sharp, the belt must stop before the tip passes completely through the belt.

I do in this way :/

Hello ! I am french and my english is not perfect
I am a total fan of good knives and I have a little collection.
Many outdoor knives in 1095 steel, and many folders in s30v,s90v,s110v,m390,cts-204p and 20cv.

I have a worksharp ken onion edition, it works great for my outdoor knives, but for sharpening my folders, it is extremly hard to not break the tip of the knives... All of my folders worth about 200-500€, so I am really disapointed when I fail a knife tip...
So I would like to know in the first time if we can sharpen those steels with the original wheel of the Tormek and finish with the japanese one, and in a second time, if we can have a great tip on our knives. On the tormek website we can read that a japanese water stone can mirror finish a knife.
If someone could post a picture of one knife with mirror finish with the SJ stone ?
If someone have an experience with the Tormek and the worksharp for a comparison ?

Thanks a lot for helping me. Stay sharp
