Backlog uodate

I’m certainly looking forward to it, I’ll be sure to share my experiences with them here. I’ve had good luck with the Chosera stones, so I think I’m really going to get a kick out of their competition as well. 🙂

Yep, the 1200/1600 ceramics arrived today, I want to sharpen some knives tonight but the workbench has “other” work on it right now. Maybe I can get it clear by tomorrow. I just got a new BK2 that is crying for a better edge, as well as some beater pocketknives, and a few kitchen knives…

[Scott Babineaux]

Paste some pics of that BK2 when its done if you can. I’ve got mine queued up as well for when I get my WEPS. Along with my Busse Combat LE and others of course.

Just found out that my fine diamonds and ceramics are on their way. Now to get rid of some of those pesky scratches.:cheer:

Sweet! Means mine will probably be heading out before too long as well. 🙂

Actually took the WEPS down to a favourite coffee-and-sandwich place the other day and sat at a table working on one of their knives (which was AMAZINGLY dull) It was such a bad one that a 18-dps setting took a couple minutes to actually raise a burr with the 100-grit plates! Lacking the fine stones as yet (before I got my shaptons as well) I ran it down through 600, then gave the edge a few licks on my Sharpmaker’s fine rods as a finishing step at 20-dps. They were amazed at the knife, and the WEPS drew a lot of interest!

:woohoo: By my calendar my order should now be four weeks out. Clay how is that date looking now?

My cermanic stones made its way to my house before my Pro Pack. Nothing like a big tease…:)

That’s awesome, Komit! Next time get pictures of the awe-struck crowd! B)

There’ll be a lot more awe-struck after I get the fine plates and the Shaptons up and running right, I’m fairly sure. 😀

Bonus for the WEPS being something I can plop down at a table with and just start working without a whole lot of setup or space required like the belt. Makes for a better crowd-pleaser.

EDIT: Just got the shipping notice for my 800/1Ks! Looks like they went out yesterday, so I’ll probably see them early next week. Can’t wait to do some real work on this! 😀

The 800/1000 stones are like the other diamonds in that they need some break-in time. You can accelerate the break-in period by gently rubbing like stones together a few times.

Gotchya, I’ll do that. The others are smoothing out nicely with use, I’ve got about a dozen knives done with them now and they’re starting to cut much more cleanly and smoothly than they were to begin with. These take a bit longer to break in than the DMTs I’m used to, but work quite well once they’re going.

[Edwin Lurvey]

Doh! Just got the email, the unit is stalled again. Looks like Mid November for me (18th) to ship

[Jende Industries]

I just got off the phone with Bob @ wicked edge and he said that my 800/1000 diamond plates went out today. YAY!!!

Now they only need to clear customs…. 🙂

[Scott Babineaux]

The first of November is Tuesday so I’m getting itchy. Any updates on the next delivery?:woohoo:

I have a Busse Combat 10 inch limited edition due this week to christen my WEPS with.

[darcy]

Well, just received an email that my order is delayed again due to transportation issues… While I have patience; this is starting to become increasingly frustrating as I have been pushed out another 2 weeks. I was originally emailed a November 11 ship date from the original delay of 6-8 weeks back in early August. I already received my cermanic stones and now just waiting for my order pro-pack to be fulfilled. I hope that the 800 and 1000 stones are included with this shipment.

Sorry about venting but I cannot help to feel a little disappointment.
