It depends on how you are using it. I'm assuming you are talking about the lansky guided system.After I sharpen with lansky angle sharpener I notice the bevel seems to be wider in the middle of the knife. I mostly notice this on wharncliffe blades. If anyone could offer some insight would be appreciated.
yeah its the guided for some reason I wrote angle. I'm normally clamping it in the middle of the 3in blade, and thats where the bevel seems to be tallest with it shorter towards the tip and handle. My first thought was I was using more pressure when It came to the middle but I was pretty careful to keep it even. I'm not terribly concerned about it, the knife is sharp but I'd like to know the issue whether its me or something with the sharpener.It depends on how you are using it.

The bevel angle will be smaller the closer you are to the pivot of the guide rod. If you clamp the blade near the handle, generally the bevel will gradually become taller towards the tip of the knife because the distance from the pivot will normally increase. You might be concentrating too much on one area/wearing away unevenly, but that would be a guess.

... It pays off to learn to sharpen free hand.

Is not about the presure, the strokes, not-knowing how to use it or that the system is wrong... is just pure geometry. That's it. If you want an even bevel you need to have the same distance between the pivot point and the contact patch of the sharpening stone on the blade through the WHOLE LENGTH OF THE BLADE. And you don't have that because the further from the clamping point you get, the longer the distance gets, therefore the angle lowers and the edge becomes more acute.

There is no way arround it, you will have to live with that. If you can't, you will need a system with a pivot point that slides on a fixed height guide paralel to the blade to insure the stroke is always perfectly perpendicular to the edge and from the same distance to the edge.
And that will only work with perfectly straight edges (or portion of edges) once you reach a curve or the upswept of the tip, all this precission goes out the window.
