Knife Sharpening / Consistenty of sharpening
December 18, 2025, 07:08:37 PM
Hey there,
Im new to sharpening with on the Tormek system. I recently bought a T8 and have been practicing on some of my own knives before going any further. I have found with some of my results that I achieve a sharp tip and initial first 1/3rd of the knife (slices through paper easily) but then the rest of the knife is not to that level of sharpness. Im making sure to keep the jig resting on the support bar. Im wondering if its a pressure related thing? Do you need to apply much pressure on the knife throughout the grind?

Thanks
