Vince--at least good to know I am not alone. I won't have to sell it cause it ain't mine.

I have sharpened around 50+ blades on the Edge Pro, so not a complete rookie.
I just don't care for hollow ground blades and this was the first time sharpening one on the Edge Pro.

My thinking is that as the cutting edge follows a geometric surface (concave) out along a geometric line (curve), you get some issues with the cutting edge angle vs the stone (plane), especially if you move a longer blade on the rest ---or?????

BTW -- thanks mannlicher and boise. Using Sams design kitchen knife and the Edge Pro Rick convinced me to get---I cut the crap out of my index finger yesterday. So sharp (after 3 uses) the cut sealed right up in the middle and squirted out the ends.
