I couldn't get close to the heel because the thumb stud was in the way. I don't think it is pressure fit and I didn't have the time to fiddle with it.Also think you need to move the knife forward a bit more in the jaws...the heel of the grind looks closer to 20-21* where when you move towards the point the bevel probably gets closer to your 18
Looks good though for only sharpening a hand full of knives

I wanted to take it apart and see if I can smooth out the opening action but the screw in the back (by the lanyard ) is stuck.
