    Probably not doing anything wrong, this is common when you sharpen very narrow knives.  The blade edge is too close to the top edge of the vise.  For these situations there are a few solutions; the Wicked  Edge Low Angle Adapter and the Tormek Small Knife Adapter.  Each holds the edge higher above the vise.  Those of us who are serious knife sharpeners or are just plain obsessed about it eventually end up with both.   We also have scratches on our vises.
