Going to try and tackle this Victorinox with my EdgePro. Anyone else done a knife this thin, long and this much recurve at the end? If so any suggestions or just treat it like any other knife? Thanks in advance!!
 
With a knife this whippy only sharpen the knife over the table for support.

Sharpen the section of the blade that’s supported by the blade table. Anytime you’re sharpening a flexible blade you want to keep your stone operating directly above the blade table. This is going to give you a more consistent angle, and it’s also going to keep the blade from flexing while you sharpen.

I did resharpen a fillet knife today, similar model. Cheap built and therefore challenging to sharpen. But I made it!
Through 204-freehanding, using both the flat sides (for Burr raising) and the edges (for Burr removal). No stropping.

Next time I'll resharpen this knife again, I will finish faster because of practice and experience.
