Hello guys, I am a beginner and have a tornek t-t system. i want to sharpen my shun 10 inch knife but have a problem, when I am holding tightly the holder and it comes to the tip part, even if I bent the knife but keeping the holder to the metal bar it just can't make the right angle and messed up the tip, it's almost flat at the tip part and I need to hold the whole knife in my hand to get the desired angel but then I could not control as it's not touching the metal bar. It's very annoying I checked all the videos from Tormek looks like they are able to keep the holder attached in metal bar and just slightly bent but keeping one side attached to  the bar, but I can't if I do the grinding stone takes too much of angel. Please help me to fix this issue.

Thank you so much, I will start my journey from there.

Hellow everyone, I am glad I joined to this community as I purchased pre-owned Tormek T-4 with many jigs yesterday, and trying to set it up to sharpen my Shun knives. Before I start I noticed that the grinding stone is not even and rounded in the edges, I tried to use the sp-650  stone but looks like that stone also was curved and worn. So i am trying to use the truning device but the diamond tip is not flat and has some bumbs, So my question is can I use that as is or I need to make it flat or I need to buy a separate tip? ($63), any tip for this one?
Second, I have 10 inch Shun classic knife and the holder jig I have is a pretty short, can I use that one or I need to purchase the large one?
Thank you in advance!
