Roger here. In my 60’s, overweight, not too sharp, but do like to hunt for food and process it too. Got married once, now have lots of grandchildren. Praying s lot more. 40 yrs + working as a technician for a very good eorld wide communication company.
Coworker told me about this Wicked Edge sharpener. Made sense. Bought one. Gen 3 pro. Very happy, happy, happy . Hope to help others to appreciate the value of a sharp knife. A friend offered to give me one of his cooked briskets for sharpening.
Something I do now while “grinding” is to have a wet sponge with Dawn and water handy. I wipe the diamond stones off while using. CLAY was right. This keeps the metallic shavings down to a minimum and keeps the stones clean.
Now if I can only get my own life “sharp”. God bless.

Welcome to the Wicked Edge Forum, Not2sharp. I’m glad your liking the Gen 3 Pro. I like your sharpening for Brisket deal. I have a friend I sharpen his knives in exchange for fresh fish. LOL Bartering is a good way to go. Everyone get something out of it.

Welcome Aboard Roger! I am a fairly new member too. Marc already beat me to my own reply on you getting the better deal.
I am finding that I really enjoy spending time putting a beautiful edge on a knife. And I’ve done it once! Point is, and you’ve read this, give yourself time to learn. Be patient and slow. Practice on knives that you don’t care about.
I also really enjoy reading thru the forums. There is SO much information I was overwhelmed at first. But I am catching up.
Like David says, don’t be shy about asking questions. The members here are really good about helping us new guys.
