I just sharpen the flat side and don’t worry about the serrated side unless there is damage to it.

That’s recent….I see the WE website updates frequently.

I never did see the purpose for the G4P sans micro-adjusters.

So Alan, now the only reason is if you want the new Gen 4 Pro? You know there are upgrade micro-angle adjusters for your old girl, too. I started with that OG model version in 2017.

They’re available here in the Expert…[Read more]

Tom, The answer to your challenge is my aftermarket Uni-Handles. We offer the add-on round rod cleat-pair that allow our Uni-Handle 1×6 universal stone holder handles for all Wicked Edge setups to now utilize these new diamond round rods in addition to all 1×6 plated stone mediums.

I would notice chips in the edge of blades with bad steel myself. Good steel will also leave a decent burr, but the burr on bad steel will kinda crumble off of the edge. I bought some…[Read more]

Being they are inexpensive knives they may have inclusion within the steel… if you have a jewelers loop take a look at the chips.. some of us use an inexpensive USB microscope to monitor the edge as we sharpen and that makes seeing the damage rather easy.

Any piece of standard glass will work, including that of a dollar store picture frame.
