I have just a few questions as I am new to the WE. I am wondering if it would be safe to use brass brushes to clean off the stones in between uses or is a stiff toothbrush a safer practice?
As well as I have read that with the vinegar you let it sit on the stone for a couple minutes before you scrub it and then wash it off, what is the practice for using alcohol? (I have access to large supply of alcohol) With alcohol would I let the stone soak? or just apply the alcohol and scrub away until its all evaporated then rinse under warm water?
Any help or critiques would be appreciated as I am trying to learn as much as I can
Thanks Dan

Feel like I need to post as I am very pleased with my results ! Followed this step by step to get my super cheap C-tire knife clmaped in the “sweet spot” .
Well after finding the sweet spot it took me no time at all to dial in this knife and put the best edge it’s ever seen on it !
Thank you so much for your guide it helps tremendously

After you follow these steps your knife is clamped it the optimal position to best apply any angle bevel you choose. The sweet spot is a clamping position that orients your knife in the WE Jaws so the abrasive stones will reach the knife edge all along the knife with the best efficiency and the least amount of wasted metal. That being said if you choose a very shallow or acute angle setting you will be removing a lot of metal.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks Marc! That’s what I thought I was interpreting ! Well now to practice and get the hang of finding the sweet spot on my knives and go from there ! I appreciate it ! Will be following this guide step by step to try and get the best out of my system and get the best practice in!</p>

Hi there super new to the wicked edge !! Just received my GO.
I am wondering if the same steps are required if you are trying to set up a brand new bevel? As in a new angle to sharpen at ?? Maybe I just have myself confused
