I don't know if we can say it anymore, grind the smaller side until it evens out. You can't fix asymetery by being symmetric.

No Jason I made it many times before with the same result and I wasted a lot of the blade!!! The primary grind is really asymetric I think!!
 
Just gotta even her out, it's going to take time and some irregular grinding but eventually you will get it done.

Simple way to check... mount it in a vise, measure the flats w/ an Angle Cube, then measure the primary grind and you can see if it's off or not =) But I am with Jason on this one, it's probably either needing to be ground more on the shorter side or else your angles are off on that side on the sharpmaker and you aren't holding it perfectly up and down.

Too bad there isn't anyone listed as a Wicked Edge user in Italy... you could just send it to them. How much would it be to ship to Spain?

Josh, I tried with my Lansky too. About my sharpmaker and the way I use it, I can say I use it for all my knives without any problem... This is the time I have such a result.
 
At this point you should probably just leave it how it is. There's nothing else you can really do if you don't want to even out the bevels. Is it at least sharp now?
 
Both those bevels look really wide for 30 degrees, which I assume is 15 degrees per side. If both sides were 3.1mm then that would make a thickness of 1.6mm (1/16") at the point that the bevel meets the main grind.
 
Thanks, that would be about right with one bevel being 1.6mm wide and the other 3.1. The blade must be a lot thicker than I'd have expected.
