Looking forward to this to add to my wicked edge go. I also have the wicked edge generation 3. Wicked edge go is to take on the road with me. Smaller footprint. I have the deluxe bag so I can take a extra set or two of stones.
02/24/2019 at 12:00 am #49530Thanks I hope to get a few more things. I put a incredible mirror polish on my mini griptilian with D2 steel.
02/23/2019 at 11:53 pm #4952502/23/2019 at 1:12 pm #49511Cheap $5-$7 knife I bought at gun & knife show. Wanted to see if I could put a mirror finish on it. 20 degree angle progression was 200/600/800/1000/1500 diamond grit 1200/1600 ceramic 6 micron lapping film then finished with 5/3.5 micron leather strops. This cheap knife now looks expensive.
02/23/2019 at 1:04 pm #49510We need a update & a few photos of what your sharpened knives look like. I hope your enjoying your system.
02/23/2019 at 12:48 pm #4950910/27/2018 at 2:10 pm #47951For some reason it is not allowing to download photos. I will try one more time. This is a cheap knife only cost like $7. My progression was 100 trhu 1500 diamond grit then 1200/1600 ceramic then 6 micron lapping film then leather strop 5/3.5 micron. Did this on the Field & sport pro. I would have had same result with me wicked edge go.
10/27/2018 at 2:02 pm #47950I would suggest you sharpen the spyderco paramilatary 18-20 degrees per side. Do not go less with this knife. This knife has a steel that was meant to work not to really hair splitting sharpness. It was meant to be a work horse. I suggest getting a few cheap knives to practice on first. I have the WE go with the deluxe case which allows me to carry two extra sets of stones & you can also fit the eraser,jewelers loop & angle guide in it. It was a very nice surprise when those fit. I carry the stones that came with it & the 800/1000 & 1200/1600 ceramics in it.

09/26/2018 at 1:31 pm #47763This shows how impressive the wicked edge system is. I took this cheap $5-$7 survival knife & re profiled this & got a nice mirror image & would never guess it is only a $5-$7 knife. I bought it this last spring at a gun & knife show in Birch Run Michigan. Progression was 200/400/600/800/1000/1500 diamond grit then 1200/1600 ceramic 6 micron lapping film then finally 5/3.5 micron strops. Did this with the Field & sport pro. Before & After photos
09/18/2018 at 3:22 am #47623Well if you could call them, they have fantastic customer service & will help you to the best of your needs & wants. Good luck. By the way I bought a boat that both the Australian’s & New Zealander’s use. Only one I know in Michigan that has this boat. A 2017 1650 fisher Stabicraft with a 90 HP honda on it. Really impressed with this boat.

09/17/2018 at 10:48 pm #47616Just thought I would post one more thing on the F & SP. Tonight I took a cheap $7 small survival knife I picked up at a gun & knife show this last spring. I Used the F &SP with progressive work with the system. Here is my progression 20 degree set at B 200/400/600/800/1000/1500 diamond grit then 1200/1600 ceramic 6 micron lapping film then finally 5/3.5 micron leather strop. Finished product even if cheap knife looks fantastic & super sharp. Mirror finish on this cheap knife. Here it is with photo’s. Looks like a expensive knife now.

09/15/2018 at 8:02 pm #47593Mine is not nearly as nice as many of these but this is a short video of finished product of my Mini Griptillian with D2 steel. It was a mirror edge but a smaller one because of how small the knife is. To this day it still has a hair shaving edge & was 4 months ago. I use the knife also. Facebook video. I did this with the field & sport Pro. https://www.facebook.com/roger.brown.54379/videos/10216216760874609/
09/15/2018 at 7:26 pm #47588This is just my two scents, I have both field & sport pro & the wicked edge go. For home use I use the F & SP I have also purchased a gun case that was pick n pluck to add many more stones & strops. I have never had a issue with the F & SP. If your looking for portability I would suggest to get the Edge go with the deluxe bag & buy two extra sets of stones as this bag will allow it. I also can fit my digital angle guide,Jewelers loop & eraser in the deluxe bag. Stones I carry in this bag are the 200/600,800/1000 diamond grit & the 1200/1600 ceramics. My custom made pick N pluck gun case that has the F & SP has 50/80,100/200,400/600,800/1000,1500 diamond grit with glass patten on back of 1500 diamond grip which I use 6 micron lapping film also 1200/1600 ceramics with 5/3.5 micron leather strop angle guide,jewelers loop,eraser & extra lapping film. Which ever system you get it will be well worth it. Best system to sharpen knives out there IMHO. I also will provide a short video of finished product with F & SP using many stones on a D2 steel mini griptilian knife & had a excellent mirror finish. https://www.facebook.com/roger.brown.54379/videos/10216216760874609/

09/24/2017 at 7:38 pm #41227I also thought those bubba blades would be 15-17 degrees but their web site says 22-25. The knives of Alaska do say 13-18 degrees. Where do you catch your fish to use your fillet knives. I mostly fish Erie Monroe area. Other places this year Muskegon,Wheately ON, Erieau ON
