The Stabil-Rizer also can be used to mount short small knives effectively on the WE.

airscapes replied to the topic Cost in the forum Main Forum 7 months ago

Have you priced a Japanese knife?

The WE is not a gun manufacture that has been around since 1873 so you can not really compared the manufacturing capabilities and vendor buying power of global giant gun manufacture to a US Small business The WE is also made in the US like many guns are. My buddy said to me when I bought the WE about or 6 ye…[Read more]

airscapes started the topic Stabil-Rizer For small Knives! in the forum MODS 7 months, 2 weeks ago

So last night I had about 40 minutes and wanted to sharpen my $10 pocket knife. I had just killed the blade in the garden earlier in the day and new it was in need. This knife is small, it is why I bought it, I do not know it is in my pocket, just the way I like it. Anyway, it has been sharpened at 16 degree on the gen pro 4 with out the LAA…[Read more]

airscapes started the topic 1×4 for WE Prototype going out to Beta tester in the forum MODS 1 year, 1 month ago

These are the 1×4 for WE prototypes, sending them to my beta tester today. We have Jende Whetstones, KME and CGSW stones for testing of the cleat. If anyone out there has other brands of 1×4 stones could you post a picture of the them. Most interested in the shape of the backing plate on the end and the thickness in of the backing plate. Color…[Read more]

airscapes started the topic Angle Change with Thick Stones and Handle Adapters in the forum MODS 1 year, 2 months ago

Something that can be over looked when using aftermarket stones with the WE systems is that thicker stones, such as Whetstones and stone adapters to use other types of stones with WE, tend to decrease the maximum achievable angle. This is due to the fact that thickness of the stone and possible adapter handle move the rode away from the the k…[Read more]

airscapes started the topic 1×6 Edge Pro Stone holder for WE (Uni-Handle) in the forum Want to Sell 1 year, 2 months ago

For those here who don’t frequent the FB group, I have created a WE style handle to mount the very popular 1×6 stone system used by EdgePro and other sharpening systems. This is not unique, there are other adapter handles that have been on the market for a while and one besides mine just unveiled last week. The hand pair is $50 and included t…[Read more]

airscapes replied to the topic Newbie with a question in the forum Welcome Mat 1 year, 4 months ago

Hi Paul! If you are totally stuck and out of options, I can make you one if you can provide exact measurements in mm with a digital caliper or mail me one of the existing feet so I can copy it.

I am guessing WE has what you need!

welcome

airscapes replied to the topic New to the forum. Just wanted to introduce myself in the forum Welcome Mat 1 year, 10 months ago

Welcome Gordon, the 60/66 is really meant to be a portable unit compared to the majority of the pervious units that had larger granite bases etc. There seems to be a lot of folks selling the older units on the facebook page. You may be able to get what you are looking for there at a faction of the cost of new. Many folks buy the system as y…[Read more]

airscapes replied to the topic Low Angle/Standard Vise Question in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 2 months 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]

airscapes replied to the topic WE66 Obsidian set up in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 3 months ago

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 2 years, 4 months 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]

airscapes replied to the topic WE66 Obsidian set up in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago

Yes I do.. can see it here https://knife.wickededgeusa.com/forums/topic/we60-66-new-accessories/

airscapes replied to the topic WE66 Obsidian set up in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago

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.

airscapes replied to the topic Is the WE130 overkill for me? in the forum Main Forum 2 years, 4 months ago

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