Good afternoon everyone,
I just purchased my first Wicked Edge Base model Sharpening system. I did alot of research and decided to get the best in my opinion from the start. I am 60 years old, and have been camping, hunting and hiking for most of my life. I have always struggled to get a good edge on a knife. I was using a flat stone and just never could figure out the angles and usually ended up turning the blade, or simply wasting time.
I collect Case XX knives and have some from the 50’s. I just invested in the Esse 5, and what a knife. I will never have to replace it and I am sure my Grandson will own it someday. I also have some KaBar blades.
Does anyone know what angle I should use on the Esse 5.
I plan to mount my system to a piece of authentic butcher block. I think that will work well, other than the weight of it. This way I can stick the knives in it as I finish them.
Any tips you want to share, I am all ears, in the case, all eyes.. I promise to read every single response.
Alan
