Edge Thickens at Plunge Line (5 replies)

Now, swoopy plunge lines and the edge thickening at the base of the blade is not much of an issue if you freehand sharpen, but can be a nightmare for those who use a jig/sharpening system if you want these two things:
1: the whole blade sharpened
2: a cosmetic edge finish

If you sharpen professionally, this can be your bread and butter for customers orders.

There's a few ways to fix this problem, JDavis mentioned in a video on a ZT to adjust the angle on the system, and you can always spot sharpen by hand. But as it is mentioned in the video by Rob, it can be looked at as a design flaw or issue.

Has anyone else had a problem with this, or come up with a solution?
