Specifically, how do you maintain the belly of the knife? A lot of sharpening guides with the single direction sharpening feel like they would over time destroy the curve of the blade making the chef knife useless. However I've seen some of those sweeping motion videos and I don't understand how they can maintain even pressure at the point of sharpening without having fingers pressing down on the location. Seems like a lot of flourish with no substance.

How do you manage this conundrum?
