I recently purchased a Hapstone M2. Knives come out sharper than they did by my hand, but I am a little bewildered on how to sharpen from the bend, up towards the point of the knife. The sharpening angle gets a bit steeper as I go along the bend. This is not really an issue when it comes to narrow kitchen knives. But the wider the blade, the bigger the difference. One of our knives is a scandi bushcrafter and I have no idea how to retain the sharpening angle of that one.
Is there a trick that helps when sharpening wide blades in this type of jig, or are they simply the wrong tool fo the job?
Also, is there such a thing as a strop that comes fitted in a apex pro (or clones) “stone” holder?
