Alf,

Thanks for the response. My Sharpmaker is farely new. I have sharpened clip points but no hawkbills. I have played around with the angle and sometimes it seems like it is getting close and then I keep going and it gets worse again. Does this happen to you?? Anything else I can try??

I am trying to Sharpen a Kershaw Talon Hawkbill ATS 34 blade with my Sharpmaker 204 using the suggested steps in the instruction manual and am having no luck. I have probably put at least 160 strokes on each side with the medium stones. Any suggestions on technique??
