You may want to use a sharpie on the edge before setting up your sharpening angle, this way after a few passes you can see the sharpie being evenly taken off, and then you know you have the right angle.

For your spydeco, if you want the serrations to be re-sharpened properly I would recommend the use of the spydeco triangle ceramic stones to evenly get serrations touched up, or send it back to factory for re-sharpening.
Yeah the reading I've been doing suggested to me I was going to need diamond matrix stones... its nice to have expert confirmation though. Wish I'd known that before I'd ordered the big Apex kit with all the regular stones, since now it seems like I'll need to order a whole additional set of even more expensive stones to get the results I'm looking for! And I've already been using the sharpie trick, its a good one!
