I just had the exact same problem. Clay I sent you an email but I haven’t yet to get mine wet. I took it out of the box that i keep all my stones in and it just fell off. My sharpening had to wait. But on a positive note i received the updated arms and I’m super stoked about it!
Hey guys thought I would just hop on this convo as well. I purchased the upgraded arms and have been super stoked on them. I noticed as well that the set screws on my upgrades were flat and smaller which I thought was odd. I have been having a bit of an issue with them loosening as I sharpen which can be a bit frustrating. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place online that I could purchase a screw with a tapered end to eliminate this from happening. I agree that Clay is most likely feeling the same frustrations that we are if not more. Ohh the beauty of growing pains!
I thought I would share my wicked edge experience! I received my wicked edge pp2 upgrades last night after 2 months of waiting. As I expected it was totally worth it. I only had a chance to sharpen two knives but the arms are smooth as butter and the ability to precisely control the degrees of the paddles are fantastic. I feel that clay and company are constantly resetting the bar for the sharpening industry. Thank you guys so much for all that you have done and continue to do. I am excited to be a continually stoked customer. Thanks!!!!
You do have to pay extra for the new arms as mentioned above. I must say that you are still getting an amazing product that is totally worth your money. Clay and his team makes a great product and is well worth every penny!
I am going to second that! I didn’t realize I would start such a large discussion due to my lack of patience. But I must say that Clay and all others involved are amazing and I am so thankful for everything they do. It’s rare to have a company that cares about their product and customers so much. I intend to continue to support wicked edge and enjoy all the amazing products they have to offer. I am soooo excited for the new arms and it will be a treat to get them. Thanks all!
Sorry to barge in off topic! I placed an order about two weeks ago for the new arms and have yet to be charged for them or hear anything about it. I have placed two phone calls along with an email over the past week inquiring about the status and have yet to hear anything back from anyone which I feel is quite uncommon. Did anyone else run into similar problems? Maybe I need to be more patient?
I know it’s been a while since this topic was brought up but I thought it only fair to update on my ceramics use. Clay was absolutely correct that once broken in the stones work great. I took mine to some 600 grit sand paper to lap them flat and have been using them with great results since. It took a bit for them to be broken in but now I love them. The only thing I have to be careful of is if I tilt them to the side the little pockets will make a nasty sound and sometimes micro chip the blade. To fix this issue I just take my time. I also purchased the micro ceramics and they are amazing as well! I have had no issues with them and now regularly get mirror edge finishes.
I was thinking about purchasing a pelcian 1600 case for my WEPS. I have it all drawn out with how everything will fit and I think it will be perfect. However I am not sure if it will fit once I put the riser on it that isn’t out yet. Clay I was wondering if you could tell me the height of the clamp with the riser attachment that will be coming out.
