For kicks, I tried to sharpen one of my kitchen knives (a JA Heckles Pairing Knife) on my Nortons and didn't get results that I expected.

Anyone hone kitchen knives or others on their Nortons? How do you get the bevel angle consistent without a spine like on Straights?

I was thinking of slicing a groove down the length of a plastic tube and inserting knife into it to make a spine to set the bevel.

Anyone do this with success?
