First, I want to say welcome to the forum and that you’ve taken the first great step and that is to aquire A wickededge sharpener. It is by far the best precision angle sharpener on the market. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I’m not.
Second, Check out this video on YouTube And watch how it works from many sources like this one:
Third; I would recommend that you first start using your new Gen 3 by begging your friends and family for cheap knifes to sharpen. Don’t start on a Sabenza. Shortly after, everyone will be bringing you their knifes and you will have to start turning people away.
It has taken me years to assemble my “kit” of sharpening “stuff”. And I wouldn’t recommend buying it all at once. I would get familiar with the device find out what works for you and continue to ask questions. Best of luck!

In my kit is some pencil-sized pieces of wood to check the sharpness. oak i can get a dowel rod from Menard’s. Hickory i can get from a broken wood handle.

That guy, is the one and only Chris Reeve, he is like a legend in the folding knife making business. I recommend that you watch all the “Meet your maker” videos and also all the videos on the WickedEdge site before your sharpener arrives. Clay the owner of WickedEdge has spent a lot of time creating videos on how he uses his own product. No one can explain it better than he can. From time to time, you will find Clay and his dedicated staff answering questions on this forum. If you post just about anything ,someone will point you in the right direction. In fact, I find that many of my questions even to this day have already been answered. I just need to search for it and read the posts. Everything from technical issues, to stone progressions, to very detailed analysis of knife edges and bevels can be found. I haven’t even been here but a month and I am very impressed. Keep checking in!

hbhays13,
Welcome. I also have in my kit Alcohol to clean sharpie off of blade, synthetic chamois for helping to clamp knife (sometimes I use heat shrink tubing).
Felt block for de-burring a knife of wire edge. Lots of paper – printer, news print for checking sharpness.

I found that straight isopropyl alcohol didn’t clean off the Sharpie marks very well. I bought a set of generic glass spray bottles on Amazon and labeled them “Isopropyl Alcohol”, “Water” and “Lacquer Thinner”. Since then I’ve added a can of “Brake Kleen”. The thinner and the Brake Kleen take the Sharpie marks right off. I still use the alcohol to clean my diamond films.

Alcohol, not only to wipe the sharpie off but also to disinfect the wounds 🙂
