Mike replied to the topic Why not to buy the Wicked Edge. Best Knife Sharpener ? ? in the forum Main Forum 6 years, 3 months ago
Hate to beat a dead horse but I have used most of the other systems including the Russian one. Which I could not get even bevels. Sold it and bought IMHO the best most complete system the Pro pack III. I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff!! Thank you WE for a great quality product!!!

So let me get this straight in my head if your sharpening at for example 20 degrees per side when go to the cow leather strop you would go 21 degrees per side to get a net of 2 degrees less or would it be 2 degrees per side for a net of 4 ? or would you go the other way either 19 or 18 degrees ?

Those collars look like they will do the trick as a learning aid until I get more proficient with the movement of the stones.
Thanks for all the help. This is a great forum with lots of helpful info.

Tom, Yes the stones did drop down quite a bit probably a big part of it I will look at the glass platen’s as well.
Thanks for the help,

Got a new PP – 3 sharpened a few knifes all came out super sharp. I then reprofiled my Shiro Neon down to 14.5 degrees per side and went thru the stone progression knife is sharp with even bevels but I got a bunch of nasty scratches on the blade. Should I have taped the blade up or how can this be avoided?

Question: Does the PP- III come with a scissor sharpening attachment I see the one on Amazon lists or includes it but not listed as part of the package on WE website?
I have a delivery date of Monday 1/15 going to be a long weekend. Hopefully it gets delivered today!!

Ordered the pro pack 3 today (on backorder) been into knifes for a couple years and sharpening is a hobby/passion I have a Russian system but very tough to get even bevels on the FFG knifes. I sure hope this does the trick and looking forward to some polished bevels and some screaming sharp blades
