I picked up three kitchen knives to sharpen today from an acquaintance. The first blade I went to work on has proven to be very troublesome. I set the stones at 22* but every time I started to get a decent wire edge going it would chip out in sections about 1/8" to 3/16" long. I asked the owner of the blade about the steel or manufacturer and he didn't know (the blade isn't marked). The other two knives are good to go, it was just this particular knife. I spent an hour fooling with it but couldn't prevent it from happening. I call it chipping but it actually looked like an extremely thin strip of wire when it came off.

Any ideas? Would changing the angle help? It was pretty close to 22* before I started so I don't think the angle is the problem but I'm far from being an expert.

Looks like it could be a Plano Flipsider spinnerbait box. Model number 3744-00.

Had a friend make it for me and got it this morning. Can't wait for the rest of the stones I ordered to show up.

I haven't found one but I did design one that I'm planning to ask my father to make. I'm not much of a wood worker but he is so I'm hoping he'll make it for me.
