Pressure has been suggested. Tho just how much is appropriate is a difficult concept to write about. Anything more than just right & you flex the edge away from the stone resulting in heaps of bevel wear & no edge contact. I actually find very little pressure works for me & if I'm removing chips I'll just make sure I'm using an aggressive hone.
Of course poor blade geometry can also make edge contact difficult e.g. frowns ,warps etc..“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”
