I have started to learn. But what has me confused is how one keeps the blade flat on the table if the blade doesn't have or has a very small flat surface. I.E. to keep it from rocking as one sharpens.

I have a couple of Case kitchen knives that really don't have a flat and are not convex so keeping them flat I find nearly impossible.(for now at any rate). And my EDC HK14905 has a real small flat area. My small pocket swiss army was relatively easy and some other flat bladed kitchen kives were too. Actualy had to warn the wife which ones are now sharper that they have ever been!!!!!

Thanks,

I use a small acorn sized lump of play dough. Think its called that.
I embed the side of the blade in it and it steadies the blade. Works very well.

And smells great too! I love it! I've been using 'Blu-Tack,' the reusable putty that is used for hanging pictures on a wall, or as something to keep small nick-knacks from falling off a shelf. After you 'work it' with your fingers it gets pretty sticky and holds the blade firmly, but doesn't leave any residue.
