How can a knife using the alignment guide not rest on any part of the pins either front or rear.. I thought we were to use the guide with the tip or the knife equaling the referencen point? Boy I have a lot to learn and I appreciate your teaching. By the way are there any knife sharpening services on this forum that only use Wicked Edge as their…[Read more]

Thank you as I was wondering why Clay let it fall to a slanted position using the top holes I understand horizontal alignment with top of vise but how do you do vertical since it is slanted and not rectangular?

With the advanced sharpening guide are we to let it dangle as Clay has here or are we to straighten it so it is level with the jaw edge of the Gen 3 ?

marc seems exactly as you are saying.. I am now trying to get as even as possible angles and I have the bevel looking similar and on one side there is an excellent burr but on the other side I seem not to be able to get a burr at all and I do not know why. The marker is being completely removed from the top of the edge and down the side a bit such…[Read more]

cmyhero replied to the topic Reprofiling s110v PM2.. How long should it take -hair whittling in the forum Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 6 years, 9 months ago
Yes thank you, the reason I went back was because scratches were not being removed so I went backwards until I got to the 80 which I thought was necessary to remove the 50 that were from the KME. I thought this was necessary as I was told when starting 18 months ago that I need the next smaller grit to erase the previous scratch and I could not…[Read more]
