I just use the sharpie to get the bevel angles and go with it.

Welcome to the forum, Timm. I have the WE130 with the Chisel & Scissors Attachments. They work great and I have some chisels and scissors that are nice and sharp. If you want to reprofile/sharpen chisels, I recommend getting the 50/80 stones. It can take a longgg time removing the steel with the 100 stones. But be careful because they can leave…[Read more]

I don’t store my stones in the case, but I checked my stones with the covers on them and they fit in the slots ok.

Sounds like something is wrong. I would contact WE about it.

The scissor attachment shouldn’t be loose in the vise. What vise are you using?

Wicked Edge now sells paperboard shims that have worked pretty good for me. I sometimes use pigskin also.

I’m not sure about who is eligible to advertise their products for sale here so I can’t help with that. Those covers look really nice. The possible problem that I personally see with them is the thickness of them. With the thin stone covers that I have the stones are a little tight fitting into the stone slots in the foam of my case, but they do…[Read more]

Yeah, probably just a shaving that got caught in there. I’m glad that it didn’t hurt the vise threads.

000Robert replied to the topic KaBar USMC in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago
I’m glad that you got the screw out. I wonder where that sliver came from? If it came from the clamp threads, you can probably get a new clamp.

000Robert replied to the topic KaBar USMC in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago
I just checked the WE120 under “Specs”, and it says that, “longer screws can be used to enable clamping of even thicker blades”. So, it seems to me that the screw should come out. I wonder if there’s a thread that got buggered up that is keeping the screw from wanting to come on out? I would ask someone from WE to be sure. Anyway, the…[Read more]

I would go to the hardware store and get a 1″ screw, that might work. But without that bottom screw you will have trouble getting the knife to clamp tight. I believe that you are supposed to snug up the top screw and then tighten the bottom screw.

Yep, that’s why I love this forum so I can learn from Clay, you and the other guys that have a lot of experience.

000Robert replied to the topic KaBar USMC in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago
Yep, it’s tough sometimes. I’ve tried using tape, cloth, and leather and stuff. Some knives just don’t want to be clamped. For them I try to use my Tormek small knife holder. I’m not sure how well it would work for a large knife though.

000Robert replied to the topic KaBar USMC in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago
Sometimes knives just need to be reprofiled. All 3 of the brand new M7 Bayonets that I bought had terribly profiled edge bevels. I had to reprofile all of them. But Clay has a video about finding the ‘Sweet Spot’ in the ‘Knowledge Base’. It is up at the top right of the screen.

@MarcH
Good catch about using painters tape to help put your blade back in the clamp at the same place, Marc. I forgot about that.

000Robert replied to the topic 2016 Pro Pack 1 in the forum Getting Started 2 years, 4 months ago
You need to get an Advanced Alignment Guide. That will make it easier to put your knives back at the same position in the clamp.
I rarely sharpen a knife more than 1000 grit anymore. And that will push-cut printer paper. I would use some paper towel or printer paper to test the sharpness of the blade while it is still in the clamp. But…[Read more]
