​Keep your angle consistent throughout the stroke across the stone.  Do not let the handle drop! 
·         Pressure may vary depending on the degree of dullness.  In general, this approach is designed for people who keep a knife sharp. Once it dulls, you will have to use more pressure on the first two strokes.  Final stroke will always be medium-medium light.  Too much pressure on the final stroke will curl the burr too much, making your knife feel dull.
·         Always do these same three strokes, in the same order, every time you sharpen
 
The general process:
1. 30-40 degree angle, blade away from you
2. Flat, blade toward you
3.  15-20 degreed angle, blade away from you
This is a slow-mo video of what the sharpening process looks at from the other side of the table.   It is extremely important to notice:
·         Position of the handle (it stays straight and parallel to the stone throughtout the entire stroke
·         Coverage of the blade across the stone.  I am making sure that the entire length of the blade is covered in every stroke.
