Is that a solid slab of thermoloc?
If so, after seeing this last image... I am gonna bet that you will find most of the problem is in your fixturing and clamping.
All of the other things that have been mentioned in this thread would also help reduce vibration - but that one, you should fix first.

For jobs similar to this - try taping the backside of the knife and hot gluing it to a piece of 3/8" (10mm) brass bar stock of the right width/length. Use a thin layer of hot glue. This is my method. YMMV
Even hot gluing to a slab of dense hardwood would be better than using a slab of solid (and bouncy) thermoloc by itself.
