If you sharpen that many knives you should consider getting yourself a 1X30 belt sander. Don’t everyone freak out. I would not trade my WE for a belt sander. I have the same problem. Sometimes it can take me hour the re-profile a knife. When all my friends found out how sharp I can make there knives with the wicked edge you would not believe all the crap knives they bring me to sharpen. When using a sander you just have to apply light pressure and take your time between passes to make sure your blade doesn’t get hot. Especially near the tip of your blade. Wait till your blade is completely cooled off before making another pass. Then finish with your WE. This will save you a lot of time and wear and tear on your stones. I LOVE MY WICKED EDGE.
