Well, I am one day into my WE Obsidian. Had to work a while this am, but was able to review all the videos on the WE66. This afternoon, I figured the edge angles and touched up one of my Benchmade EDCs after putting a real edge on some of my old
Kershaw Leeks that I use fishing. All of those will now cut braided line without thinking about it. I then brought out a knife a customer of my Dad’s had given him 50 years ago. I think he had made it himself. It had Kit Carson on the blade. I had never been able to get a decent edge on it with a whetstone. It now has one for the first time. I then pulled out an old Buck 110 which is close to 50 years old and put a real edge on it for the first time. Had I had it sharp back in high school when I cleaned the only three deer I ever cleaned, I might still be deer hunting. I decided back then that there was too much work involved after I or someone else pulled the trigger(it was way before we had deer processors).
Well, I am definitely a pleased new WE66 owner. No trace of buyer’s remorse here. I recently bought a much less expensive system which works well, but would take a lot more effort and time to get the same results. It will be relegated to fishing and hunting trips. The Obsidian requires so little effort, it is hard to believe the results. I can’t wait for my wife to dull up the kitchen knives a little!
Happy customer!
