It probably is related to pressure as well (and I think I might have been overlifting the handle when working on the tip). Thank you for your reply; the links are helpful  :)

Thank you for the link :) I haven't thought about it that way. I find it really difficult to 'land' on the tip with the same pressure as along the wider part of the knive. So when I started at the bolster it was easier to lessen it nearer the tip then the other way around. Especially with a course gounr the tip really came out not so nice...

General Tormek Questions / Sharpening direction question from a beginner
July 03, 2020, 09:19:39 PM
Since two days I have been practising with a T8 and I was wondering something. Hope you guys can explain this one...

Does it make a difference whether you sharpen a knife from heel to tip and then back from tip to heel. Or if you sharpen from heel to tip and then start over from the heel again working up to the tip? The official Tormek videos show the first way. Just curious if that would produce a different result..I find it much easier to get a nice even bevel (and tip) the second way.

Sorry if this question has been posted before if it is...:)
