airscapes replied to the topic Low Angle/Standard Vise Question in the forum Main Forum 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Well no.. with the fixed jaw vise (standard and LAA) the knife will lean. This will cause one side of the bevel to be wider and one to be narrow.. Does not make the knife less sharp or work any different.. You can play with the angles reducing one side by a degree or so and increasing the other, but I get too confused and just sharpen the…[Read more]

you may want to think about an angle cube if you don’t have one. Once your bevel is more than 5/8″ above the vise, the numbers on the device are no longer accurate. I just didn’t see one in any of the photos so assume you do not have one.

airscapes replied to the topic WE66 Obsidian vs WE130? in the forum Main Forum 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I would keep the 130, it is larger with more room to work. There are also more accessories for it and you already have it in fort of you. The New models were to replace an older portable WE Go.. The Obsidian is Portable, small and compact. It does NOTHING different or better than the WE130, other than it comes with a C-Clamp to mount it to…[Read more]

With the riser I make, I suggest the 13″ rods and a set of stone stops. The stops will prevent you going too high and coming down on the fresh bevel or going too low on a taller knife.

you would be surprised at how many people buy complete systems and 2 months later sell them..

you better temper your time expectations.. These are all hand powered, not grinders.. 20 minute touch ups happen after stones are broken in and you are well versed in proper use.

airscapes replied to the topic Is the WE130 overkill for me? in the forum Main Forum 2 months, 2 weeks ago
I got a 120 when I started. We have about 6 knives to sharpen.. I added some stones, got a cam lock vise, added micro adjusters, longer rods.. in the end I have a WE130. I would highly recommend the 130 but you need to add to it the angle cube and longer rods.. 13-14″, not sure which are available for the 130. You can find them on the FB gro…[Read more]

airscapes started the topic WE 6x Custom Storage in the forum MODS 3 months ago
Made this for myself but would be willing to make more if there is interest, but the shipping would require a box and the price of the insert are yet to be priced . I chose a 16″ metal tool box from Walmart ($20) as it was inexpensive and good quality and available nation wide if there was interest from others . Plastic boxes are lighter in…[Read more]

airscapes started the topic WE60/66 New Accessories in the forum Product Announcements 3 months, 2 weeks ago
After using the WE60 and WE66 I have made a couple of items for my own use and added them to the list of available accessories.
First is a riser block to lift the vise up 32 mm. This is enough to allow for the majority of the stone to be used with a short knife. Without the riser a large amount of the stone protrudes above the knife and ne…[Read more]

From my personal experience, you should sharpen the knife for her. Don’t try and replace her knife, it is hers, even if you know she is doing it wrong, it is how she does it and likes doing it. I really like the 4″ Shun I bought my wife, but she does not use it, I do.. or it would be unused.. Note: she did not ask me to buy it.. she likes wh…[Read more]

airscapes replied to the topic Wicked Edge GO Update in the forum Product Announcements 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I assume that part rotated in the housing if need be, have not taken mine apart to look at it, grease be it petroleum or silicone would cause the socket to “stick” in the housing but still move as it would be lubricated.. Not sure if that part is supposed to rotate but I assume not so sealant would be fine if that is the case.

Marc, I am guessing a tiny dot of grease on the shaft of the “Jesus sockets” before putting them on the housing would help in the not getting lost department. I can not see the balls being successfully kept with the way the product is packaged, the fact the are tiny balls and no big warning on the package saying not to toss them out when you a…[Read more]

airscapes replied to the topic Wicked Edge GO Update in the forum Product Announcements 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Lets start off by saying your opinion matter, and you are not being critical, you are asking valid questions. To me the WE60 is not an upgrade from the 50 it is a direct replacement. Why the changes, for one I think they were having issues with the extruded aluminum staying within there needed tolerance’s. I would not think anyone with the…[Read more]
