Marc: I think your new hybrid rack is a great idea. I am trying to figure out a way to incorporate that system into my area where I sharpen. I think the tiered rack is a great idea making it easier to see your stones. As soon as I figure out how to incorporate it you will be getting an order from me
The angle was pretty close to 20 degrees per side 20.35 on one side and 20.45 on the other chose to go with 20 degrees. I EDC this knife in rotation for work everyday and have found I like the 20 degree angle for cutting of shrink wrap and cordage that I cut everyday. The steel will is not expensive but being knew to the WE system I wanted to try sharpening D2 on an inexpensive blade. As my confidence gets better I will move up to the lapping and polishing as you much more experienced gentlemen do. I would also like to thank all the members that are willing to give me the benefit of their experience. I am glad I found this site. You are willing to share your knowledge without hesitation no matter how simple the question.
I am sure he will be as pleased with his rack as I was with my pair. They hold my stones with the wicked edge covers perfectly. I would recommend Marc’s racks to anyone who would like to keep their stones organized.
Just received my stone racks from Marc. I ordered the 30 pin aluminum post that holds 15 pairs of stones because of space I ordered 2 they came out great. I use the wicked edge stone covers and explained that to Marc. Throughout the ordering process he was very helpful. I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a rack for your stones he is the person that you should contact
I thank you for the response. I am very happy with the edge at 20 degrees I was just curious what a lesser degree would get me. It cuts cardboard and sisal twine plus shrink wrap great at 20 degrees. I usually just touch the edge up once a week.
