Hi,

I have run into an issue when sharpening with my T8. Let me start by saying that I am new to sharpening with the tormek. Ive watched a ton of videos on setup and technique. When I sharpen my kitchen knives I have been grinding out a curve that is around the last 1/3 of the blade (closest to the handle).Ive gotten pretty good at doing it consistently and I cant figure out where I am going wrong. My general procedure is to set the angle then I start by placing the handle side of the blade on the stone, then moving to the tip, I then pick the blade up and start back at the handle side, I usually, alternate sides 1:1 or 2:2.

I have not found any videos addressing this particular problem, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve
