Edge Pro - Can't get burr near tip

[sodak]

Sodak: if I sharpen the tip at the same angle as the rest of the blade then at the tip it only removes material from the shoulder. And I do t get a burr. So to keep your angle the same do you reprofile your blades at the tip to match or what do you do?

Thanks a lot guys,

Bo

I keep sharpening until the bevel on the shoulder grows to the edge. If the knife if thick, it can take a while. This will thin (and weaken) the tip, but it greatly helps cutting ability and repeatability then next time you want to sharpen at the exact same angle.

Sodak: thank you. I will keep practicing sharpening the tip like that.
