Remember that the clamp system on a Tormek creates a wider bevel on one side of a knifeblade than on the other.
This is not so much a problem for a simple working knife, but not so nice on a more expensive knife.
As such this may leave you with an edge that's not exactly in the middle of the steel, which can be a problem with later resharpenings on a Spyderco Sharpmaker or other V-sharpeners.
I have worked with various Tormeks over the years, and while they are good, they also have a few shortcomings.
Thanks for that tip. Do you think I should hold off on the Mountain man blade then? I'll probably be resharpening it by hand. I've been drawing it over a medium whetstone and its better than it was. The knifes original profile wasn't even. I wonder if Queens using that system?
