Could you guys elaborate more on how these stop collars will help the overall sharpening process?

Roy replied to the topic New to WE, angle issues in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 5 years, 8 months ago
Hey March, I went back over the knife starting at 800 grit and remeasured the angle after each grit change. I think this helped me stay more consistent, making very small adjustments when needed, and at the end the angle difference wasn’t so large. I think I’m getting the hang of this! My Para 3 is scary sharp now, with a very highly polished…[Read more]

Hey MarcH, yeah I do believe I’ve been measuring the angles the exact same way each time. I’ve definitely learned that consistency is key with this system. So I’m guessing either the knife slid down just a bit, or I’m removing enough metal to make that slight angle difference. I’ve been using a digital caliper to measure the x and y positions of…[Read more]

Hey Tox, I’m not really quite sure…just the jaws that came with the WE Go. One side is stationary, the other side moves along the base. Why do you ask?

I’ve been getting much more acquainted with the WE Go system. So far,…[Read more]

I have both arms set to 19 degrees on each side. On the right side, my angle cube will read slightly under, about 18.50 degrees,…[Read more]

Thanks for the help guys. I do believe this is the case. My other sharpening methods may have been off a bit on the angles and I think I am essentially reprofiling the edge when I use the WE system. I’m hoping I can zero in on all the issues and get these sharp and good looking edges I keep seeing people achieve!

Hey guys, just received my wicked edge today in the mail. I was extremely excited to get it all set up and sharpen my first knife. I do want to add that I do consider myself a decent sharpener. I’ve gone through several systems over the years, and am able to get very sharp results using previous methods.
I started with sharpening my Spyderco Para…[Read more]
