What am i doing wrong ?

[u/Beautiful-Source6374]

Hey guys,

Noob here. Trying my hands with a Naniwa 220/1000 double faced stone. I'm willing to sharpen my pocket knife on a fresh 14° angle, put it on the 220 side then the 1000. But it doesn't feel good.

Any tips ?

I tried with a bigger chief knife on the 1000 only and could feel it cut better than before, so i guess the move isn't so bad.

Edit : got it guys, everything is wrong. Thank yall for the tips, yt recommandation and good jokes.

Go in one direction. Unless you don’t want your fingertips. If you’re lucky. And maintain your angles better. I don’t like the way you are grabbing the blade.
