You're hitting way too close to the handle, and consequently are robbing yourself of power in your strikes. That might be part of why they aren't sticking. Try hitting about ⅔ down the sharpened length of the blade, maybe even closer to the end. That sweet spot varies by blade, but it's almost never in the middle or near the handle.
The first one you are taking bigger swings, rotating your body more, and really driving your shoulder into. Others not so much and you aren't striking at the best part of the blade on the longer ones. Not a great comparison.
Beautiful landscape; humble mate, enjoyed review. Subbed from Florida.

You have got a great point man I appreciate the advice I’ve used them a lot more since then and came to the same terms as you suggest. Thanks man!
The handle material you weren't sure about is micarta.

Should call the condor a hammer
Japanese stones sharpin the larger ones
different blades for different purposes
In a fight I would take a hammer instead.
Wrong tool 😂
Silky Gomboy is the best choice for those tasks 🤌
