A little late to the party here but from a newbie perspective the one thing that I learned (the hard way), is safety.
Over the weekend I was using the WE to sharpen a family member’s knife when I mistakenly left my left ring finger stray over the sharpening stone. Got a decent cut on the tip of my finger and learned a big lesson in the process. All my fault, as I was not paying attention. Real stupid on my part.
Working on a good, safe technique is very important. I will not wear gloves either. I didn’t as a butcher and I won’t sharpening a knife.

Thanks fellas for the warm welcome. I just sharpened my first knife. A very badly damaged 20 year old Henckels kitchen knife I got as a gift. I was actually going to toss it, but I know the steel is still decent. I brought it to an extremely sharp edge, but I think I can do better with practice. I might post some before and after photos.
CJ, you’re right, it’s an addiction. I think by the end of the month, I’ll be going through the house looking for butter knifes to sharpen.
Bottom line is so far it’s living up to all the hype
