Zamfir,

In short we all have 2 options for mounting the knife.
— option 1
— Mount the knife and let the knife move with the clamp.
– using the video of clay with the benchmade 940 (knifeknerd attached in the thread).

— option 2
— Mount the knife with blade against left jaw.
– using the picture tcmeyer attached in the thread tcmeyer commented
https://knife.wickededgeusa.com/forum/9-basic-techniques-and-sharpening-strategies/13088-why-are-my-blades-tilted-in-the-clamp?start=10
– finding the offset using the angle cube. then using math to compensate for the jaw angle.

I think option 1 would be better for now, however I will need to check the finished bevel
to see if the edge has a extreme offset from the blade.

Thanks for a quick reply.

Yes, I have watched every wicked edge youtube video by clay including this one multiple times.

I used my old M9 bayonet and kaybar for test subjects along with my spec ops.

The diamonds were flying off as noted in the manual/videos for stone break in period.

After 5 knives the diamond flying was reduced. I stepped up to my S&W knifes
for post break in sharpening. I didn’t notice until a knife or two ago the bevel
problem. Now I will need to regroup and start over with profiling until the
bevels are equal.
