I have a GATCO knife sharpening kit (5 different stones, sharpening oil, and a guide to position the knife at various angles) but I cannot get a sharp edge along the entire blade of a Model 119 Buck Knife. I get a reasonably sharp edge on the straight part of the blade towards the handle, but the curved half out towards the tip defies sharpening. Any ideas? Thanks!
