1/8 inch thick at the spine, so within the range mentioned above. So there's no adjustment or compensation I can/should apply? I was thinking of using a piece of wood veneer on one side of the blade to offset it in the jig to attempt to raise the blade a hair on the side with the shorter bevel which might widen it and equalize the sides

Thanks for your reply. The jig I'm using actually does not have a model number inscribed on it and I threw away the box a long time ago. It's probably about eight years old now. I would think that if there was an asymmetrical grind put on the blade initially then by re-sharpening it on the Tormek repeatedly, the apex of the grind would re-center itself, assuming the jig is symmetrical. Attached is photo of jig.  Thank you very much.

I would attach a photo of it but I'm not sure this forum allows that at least I don't see how to do it. Thank you very much.

I have been using the knife sharpening jig for a couple of fixed blade knives and a couple of pocket knives, and have been getting a bevel which appears wider on one side of the blade than the other, despite what feels like even pressure and equal number of strokes across the wheel. The jig should be holding the blade centered, and it seems physically impossible that this should be occurring, yet it is. I would appreciate any advice as to what you think the causes of this could be, and what I would need to do to eliminate it thank you very much
