My dad taught me how to sharpen a knife when I was little and at least in my experience I need to sharpen less often and it cuts easier if done with a whetstone rather than a tool. I'm no expert but generally when you can't get a good edge it's because you didn't get the angle of the bevel or the time spent on the edge right. Work a little slower, I use my fingers on the edge to feel when the angle is correct, and it's been better for me to use many more, lighter passes with lighter pressure. also make sure you don't put your fingers here, if you wanna keep them.
