Ruixin RX-009 Sharpener: Does it remedy the 008's angle change when flipping the knife?

[PeteCress]

Each time I flip the knife on my 008, the stone angle has to be re-adjusted by a little over one degree.

The problem seems to lie in the blade holder.

I am hoping that the 009's blade holder would remedy that problem.

Exactly why I stopped using guided systems decades ago.

You will chase angles to the point of madness. No system is that precise, and no knife edge is ever exactly the same angle on each side. Stones also wear affecting your angle, especially if you are changing grits - no stone is the exact same height.

Learn to sharpen freehand - your sanity will thank me later.
