Greetings everyone. My name is Robert. I am in my late fourtys, and I am married with 7 children. I am never without a knife in my pocket, but until now I’ve been unable to keep them sharp.
I am sharpening challenged. I have owned Lansky, Spryderco, Edge Pro, Sharpmaker, and I just couldn’t get it done. I started reading about the WEPS several months ago but was pretty gun-shy about dropping that much money on a sharpener. Two weeks ago I finally decided I couldn’t live without one for another day and ordered the Pro-Pack I. I tried to read as much possible as well as watching a multitude of videos so that I had an idea what I was doing when I touched it for the first time.
By the second knife I was getting nice results, and by the 5th I was getting edges I’ve never been able to get before. I am a firefighter and my crew has seen me go through all of the different systems so when I brought in the WEPS they just rolled their eyes. I asked one of my guys to take a look at my Sogzilla that I had sharpened the day before. He picked it up and shaved his face with it, and then all of a sudden they were all believers. Next thing you know there as a stack of knives next to me for sharpening 🙂
This forum is incredible, and I appreciate all of the knowledge shared here by so many. I look forward to continuing to learn. My goal is to one day get a knife hair popping sharp. For the first time ever I have confidence that day will come.
