Okay complete newbie here with the WE…I’m on my third knife now breaking in my WE and more importantly in the early stages of my learning and mastery of this system.
I tried to sharpen an old timer stockman style pocket knife and I found my stones are hitting the vise. I was at 20 degrees which is what I’m accustomed to with my Sharpmaker that I’ve used for years. How do I sharpen the clip point or pen blades without hitting the vise?
Do I need to reduce down the angle to 18, 16 et al in order to miss the vice or am I unable to sharpen shorter blades? What do I need to do differently?
