Thank you all for the responses. This is a great forum with a weath of knowledge.
Airscapes… I don’t have the standard vise so will have to make due with what I have.
Marc… Thanks for the confirmation. At least I am headed in the right direction and can do a little more adjusting with my current setup. Sounds like the LAA probably won’t help…[Read more]

First… the question… Will the LAA help in this scenario?
I am helping a relative with sharpening his fillet knife. We are doing some experimenting with both the angle of sharpening as well as how sharp we get the edge for filleting a fish. ie: does the angle the blade is sharpened or the sharpness of the blade perform better when filleting a…[Read more]

Thanks

I’m sure you’ve all imagined Michael Meyers sitting with his classic kitchen chefs knife mounted in the WEPS with the caption… “Only WEPS for the tools of your trade!!” or “WEPS… when sharp isn’t sharp enough!”

What is the best method to remove and replace the leather strip on a stropping platen?
I think I read in the knowlede base to use a hot glue gun to attach them. Any advice on the best method or things to watch out for when removing and/or attaching the leather strip? I have cow leather if that makes a difference.
Thank you!

Another newb diving in head first!
I received my WE130 about a month ago and have been having a lot of fun learning. I have to say thanks to Wicked Edge for taking great care of me. I initially bought the Pro-Pack II, (which I never opened) but after the realization that almost all my knives are flat grind, I could see the value of the much…[Read more]
