Thanks! I'm new to this forum but have been using my WE for a little over a year now. Great resource you have here in the forum!

I tried different mounting positions in combination with both depth locations and no luck. The plastic of the handle hits the pointy bit on the choil by the ricasso as shown in the first photo in this thread, making it not possible to use the stone on that last part of the blade.

Sorry to dig up an old thread here but I have the exact same issue sharpening my PM2 and was wondering if:

A. Will the new arm upgrade help this issue? I have one on order. I suspect it won't but thought I would ask.

B. Other than sanding the plastic on the diamond hones or using the Choseras, are there any other options that would work with the diamond/ceramic stone?

BTW, love my WE and with a little experience and patience I can get edges better than I ever have in years of other methods
