Hello all,
I'm relatively new to sharpening and so far have had some decent results. I own 3 stones (500,1k and 6k) and a DMT extra coarse. One of my biggest challenges is keeping the bevel edge even from tip to heel. The tip to the belly is always spot on but about 3/4 down the knife towards the heel the bevel tends to get slightly uneven. I figured this was due to mainly technique and practice but regardless of angle it seems that this particular area of the knife the bevel slightly becomes uneven. Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a way to blend the top edge of the bevel into the knife better (maybe using a de-buring block with chromium oxide) to make it look more alined? Or am I simply doing it wrong. It's not horrendously uneven but enough to bother me and to post this. Any feedback is much appreciated.
