    Just received my WE 66.  I thought I had purchased a set of 200/600 and 800/1000, but despite what was advertised I only received the 200/600 stones!  Are these adequate for quality EDC and kitchen knives, or should I wait for the finer stones?  I already have pretty good edges from my Spyderco Sharpmaker.

    Those stones should be fine but, it’s an addiction and you’ll probably want more later on. I take it to 3000 stones and then polishing tapes. I’m hooked.

    Those stones are fine. I prefer to take kitchen knives to at least 1000 grit. You will definitely want more stones if you need to do any reprofiling.

    Welcome to the WE Forum, New to nice knives: All the WE 60 Series kits are sold and shipped with only 200/600 unless another stone or edge kit has been specifically purchased as an add-on.

    If you did purchase the extra stones and WE failed to provide these….they will take care of your misadventure when they are contacted. The customer service is excellent. It’s best to contact them via the contact form at the website…

    With any WE model, all of them….for the new-to-WE user experience, expect to see marked improvement to any previous knife sharpening you have done….once you get it figured out anfd get the hang of it. Add more steps for improvement, with more stones, etc., it’s endless, like Mjcollier said. It’s a rabbit-hole of fun.

    Because of this, all that WE can be, I started my own facebook group, The Expert Corner, where we discuss everything about knife sharpening as it applies to W.E. users, in deep detail.

    This video is a conversation about navigating the WE shopping experience….to pick the boxes.
