It all depends on how damaged the blade is.  I have found having and inexpensive USB microscope goes a long way to properly evaluate the condition of the blade.  You would want to start with the highest grit that will get the job done in a reasonable period of time.  Having the scope let you see your progress.  If you are not getting anywhere, dro…[Read more]

That is the video that inspired me to make the Variable speed belt sender to do just that!

Answers to all your questions are on this forum so take the time to find them.  However you sound like myself a year ago so  here is my personal take on what  I bought and “should have bought”.  My use is to keep my wife happy and she has about 4 knives that she uses.. I  could have saved a lot of money taking them to the sharpening shop and spen…[Read more]

Glad you are enjoying your new accessories, and thank you for the kind words!

I would like to thanks ChrisB for finding and fixing the issue that was moving posts to moderation that had links in them, as well as Clay for allowing us to post our home grown accessories on this forum!!

That was weird, I just replied with quotes and the post did not show up, must be waiting for  moderator

Glad you like them Tommie!

Chris, I am going to make a new post called Forum test post, it will initially be text only and I assume it will not vanish.  Next I will edit it and add more text only and if it is still there, edit it again and add a forum link by just pasting in a url to another post.  If that works I will add the same url with the LINK button and continue u…[Read more]

This was a post that vanished with the Forum issue.. Will remove the part that is no longer applicable but leave the important stuff, if it doesn’t Vanish when I submit it:-)

Just was listing who makes what in response to an incorrect statement about something I do no make. (also want to see if the update works without a VPN running)

I,…[Read more]

Expidia, you got the wrong guy.. NotSharpEnuff  makes those

Thanks Marc!  Glad you like them and they achieved all the design goal you had in mind! I will post a link in Forum Makers Custom Accessories Post

send it back and get the 130.  only issue with the 120 is that due to the way the standard vise works the knife is going to tilt to one side causing 2 different angles..

Since this list needs a bump, I figured I would let you  all know Marc and I are working on Strop Covers that will fit both new and old handles as well as the glass  paddles for lapping film.  Still in the prototype phase but will be shipping some to Marc for testing on Monday.  Stay tuned!

Terry, I would just use the stops at the bottom with the shorter rods.  You will just have to keep control of the upward motion so the bottom of the stone does not move above the bevel.  You want to use as much of the stone as possible so it breaks completely so don’t use the stop as you have it picture at the end of the short rod.

Hope that m…[Read more]

Like most things WE  personal preference comes into play.  I have not gotten really good at stopping so tend to not do to much, just enough to round over and polish the area at the bottom of the bevel as I have a similar problem of round the edge.

To answer your question, I if the main bevel is 17 then I strop at 15.5 and try and use light p…[Read more]

One last piece of ammunition for that talk with the wife, if you go all in and 4 months later find out you made a mistakable, you can sell it and get most of your money back.. Take a look, you won’t find a WE for sale used other than on this forum when someone upgrades. 🙂
