Welcome to the forum, Todd.
I’ve not had any problems with my Wicked Edge sharpeners. I check for burrs on both sides after every grit. I use a piece of folded creased paper towel to feel for the burrs. I feel for the burrs with the creased part of the paper towel.
I also don’t use edge leading strokes except for the scrubbing strokes to reach…[Read more] -

I would advise against using a dry belt grinder on blade edges except for maybe lawnmower blades. Here is an article about it on Knife Steel Nerds. A dry belt grinder may ruin the heat treat on blade edge bevels.

000Robert replied to the topic WE66 Obsidian vs WE130? in the forum Main Forum 1 year, 2 months ago
It really just comes down to personal likes and dislikes and people’s lifestyles. If I were still hunting and camping and stuff, then I would probably go with the WE66 because of it being more portable and its easiness to be mounted.
And if I was on a tight budget or didn’t sharpen much or mainly sharpened slip joint pocketknives then I would go…[Read more]

Hello John, You can see a slight burr on the edge of the blade in the photo. For feeling for a burr – I use a small piece of paper towel folded in half. Then feel for a burr with the folded end. It works pretty good for me and it’s faster than using the microscope all the time.

The WE diamond stones last a lot longer than most people seem to think that they do. I’ve had my WE130 for nearly 3 years and I still use my original stones. I was even reprofiling chisels with my 100 grit stones before I got smart and bought some 50/80 stones. My 100 grit stones are starting to look a little ragged, but they are still working for now.

I don’t remember ever seeing a Wicked Edge like that one. I’ve never tried to sharpen a knife like that one. I might try to use my scissor attachment to see if it would work. Maybe Marc will chime in soon because I don’t know anything about Japanese knives.

Welcome to the forum, adamlantelme.
Like Marc said, the WE130 will serve you well and you can also grind asymmetrical edge bevels with it. If you need to save money, then the WE60 will serve you well also. There are also some 13″ guide rods available for it now for the taller/longer knives.

I’ll order a couple from you next month. As far as losing the pivot sockets, I put a drop of grease behind them and poked them back into their pockets. I haven’t had them fall out yet.

There are some Wicked Edge haters out there and I don’t believe any of them. I have to deal with them occasionally. But diamonds are diamonds… One of these days I’ll get a blade made with S110V steel and sharpen it up very sharp with my Wicked Edge. 👍

Are you snugging up the top screw, then tightening the bottom screw?

That’s fine – it doesn’t upset me. I do not work for WE, so I’m not privy to the day-to-day operations. The WE60 is a new system, and some things are subject to being changed. I have not seen the comment that you are talking about. I also haven’t seen the videos in weeks and don’t know if they have been edited. I’ll watch them again later today…[Read more]
