Here is a cheap $5 knife I made look expensive with this great system.

I 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.

Well 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.

Just 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.

This 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/

I 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
