Thanks you guys, this is the first knife I’ve sharpened with the WE. Maybe it just seemed like 30 min.. Lol..Probably more like 25 or 20 for each side. I set my cube to 12.50 on each side, 25 inclusive. It was about a 5 degree difference. Still, I have 4 other swamp rats if want to reprofile. It’s a little bit of work with the 100 starting out,but man I love the whole process, I could do this forever. Haha
Thanks for your reply.
I was scrubbing both sides with the 100’s. Took off the marker on one edge and created a burr. Scrubbed other side (arm got tired), and finally removed marker from the other side. Went through all stones and ceramics. Getting ready to go to the 1 and .5 micron strops. I guess the 01 tool steel is pretty tough to reprofile starting with 100 grit. I may invest in the 50/80 grit stones so it will go faster. ( I have 4 other knives that are 01 steel ).
Howdy, I’m Chris McComas, I live in West Virginia, I’m self employed,I hang seamless gutter. I love guns and knives and found the WES through watching you tube videos.
