3 degrees wobble

[grepper]

I know I can't hold a steady angle hand held, especially going around the tip and flipping the knife from one side to the other. Nowhere even close. I don't know the exact number of degrees, but I have no doubt there is significant variation.

I'm sure there are some folks who might be pretty good at it, but for me a guided system of some sort is much faster, more accurate and produces a far more consistent edge.
