Grepper has it right. On most "kitchen cutlery size knives" you have plenty to hang onto and lots of blade surface area to keep flat on the rest. Small blades make me think about what I'm doing and I don't like to think. On earlier prototypes, Grepper provided sides for test purposes and they eliminated most of the "thinking" part. I look forward to sides again. I don't sharpen many small blades but I imagine that when the sides do go on, they'll stay on.
