I've tuned my side edges with tools that I bought previously.......but, seems like there isn't any tools for a base edge.....I want flat or may be 0.5 degree on my base but if I put my file flat on base and start sharpening, my file started to scratch my base too.....so in order to avoid that I'm gonna have to apply some masking tape....and question is HOW MUCH and HOW FAR from the EDGE do I have apply that masking tape???...in order to get that 0 or 0.5 degree on the base.....

I guess you experts can do it without masking tape but I just can't do it without it.....so please feel free to tell me how you do it ....including your bad experiences and good experiences

thx.....for reading...
