Alrighty folks…first knife sharpened (somewhat) on WE 100 Pro-Pack 1. Took quite a bit of material off to get to a decent bevel. As per the WE, set it to 17 degrees (angle cube will arrive Monday) for this utility knife. This is not the same one I shared images of…that one will be saved until I gain a bit more experience (same family of fo…[Read more]

Thanks for the recommendations…I like that they are “low-cost” as well. I already put a nice little slice on one of my fingers mincing fresh herbs with the newly acquired chef knife, so I will head out tomorrow and pick up some gloves in the local economy.

Thanks for the assistance and concern…the last statement was more of a “WOW” factor when reading about the science, skill, etc. that goes into sharpening materials. So, I am taking everyone’s advice and have picked out a heck of a knife to cut my teeth on (pun intended). A set of 4-knives were given to me by my roomate when my wife and I f…[Read more]

Thanks MarcH. I’m actually a transplant to TX (originally from NYC). After 20+ years in the Air Force, I decided to make TX my home. I tend to favor the laws and mindset of the South!

Hello from San Antonio, TX. Getting into knives (cooking) and just purchased my first two Chef’s knives and ProPack (new pellet grill has me hooked on cooking meat). Planning to sharpen the “junk” we currently use for practice and to break in the ProPack before i even THINK of touching the two new Chef knives. Looking to learn from all!
