    That's interesting...try changing your steeling angle. My work mate has been getting me to sharpen his knives and it had me buggered how they got so blunt. Once I chucked out his draw through tool much better but they keep coming back with huge rounded shoulders...then I saw him use steel. It's my firmly held belief that your knife should just about lay down against the steel when stroking it. (The back edge of blade closer to steel) You are after all just trying to restraighten the tiny bent bits on very edge of blade. If your knife is at closer to right angles to steel you are rubbing the sharp bit off. The only way I can discribe that is with hand flat curl tips of fingers over....that's a worked full blade.by steeling you are unrolling fingertips back straight again.
