Mistake in sharpening knives
Hey,
I bought a Tormek T-8 in Sept. and am very happy with the edge sharpening results.
But am facing one repeated problem and am not sure what is the point I am doing wrong ?
When I sharpen the blade on the SG-250 original grindstone, I always tend to receive a very concave area near to the handle of the knife. Please see the illustration attached.
I think I hold the blade in a right angle to the stone when grinding.
Also, I start the grinding process at the handle oriented end of the blade, not somewhere in the middle of the blade ( which I think would be a possible reason ).
Please would you kindly give me a hint ?
Thank you very much.
Best regards

leider kann ich den Anhang nicht öffnen.
Aber i denke ich verstehe was du meinst.
Die Vertiefung entsteht wenn man nicht hundertprozentig flach auf der Steinoberfläche liegt, da gräbt sich die Steinkante in das Messer.
Das verhinderst du indem du die Kanten abbrichst.
Beim Aufsetzen der Klinge am Besten darauf achten das du mit der Klingenkante - da wo die Klinge Anfängt - zuerst sehr flach aufsetzt, mit wenig Druck! Dann wenn du satt auf der Steinoberfläche aufliegst dann erst den Schleifdruck ausüben.
Hier findest du einige Tipps zum anschauen:
