See the picture. It’s a REALLY narrow blade. I can’t seem to figure out how to mount it so I can sharpen it. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks for the information. I got these knives a long time ago, and actually decided I would NEVER buy another knife with a bolster again because of it.
I think I’ll grind it down with the belt.

Anyone have suggestions for sharpening this knife? The stone is hitting the bolster/finger guard and thus I can’t sharpen the end of the blade. I thought about using my work sharp/belt grinder to just grind down the bolster. Is there a better way? or a trick?

It was a draft… Then the kids went crazy and it wound up getting submitted, so I just blanked it out since I couldn’t deal with it at the moment. Nothing wrong with the forum… just toddlers running mad. And its fine to post it. Between this forum and the PMs I am actually getting the hang of this thing.
Thanks!

@Mark76 – I am pretty sure it wasn’t there at the beginning…. I think…. :-/…. Next on my list is one of those USB microscopes.
@MarkH – I said magnetic because the filings stick to things…. the edge included… looks like magnetic filings from high school physics/chemistry. I should actually just step it up to 20 degrees… this us…[Read more]

Also interesting is I checked the blade after each stone on my last attempt. I don’t really recall seeing the chips until I used the ceramics….
The whole WE is new, so everything is still being broken in.

So in an effort to learn how to use the Wicked Edge I asked my neighbors/friends if they had any knives I could sharpen. I got a bunch. I am having a problem with one of them. It is a junky santoku. The metal is odd, and seems to be magnetic. I set the angles (18 per side) and sharpened it up. Really sharp edge, but it had chips in it……[Read more]

Sounds good thanks. I’m not sure I am good enough yet to tell whether or not it matters… 🙂

Along with my WE130 I got the ceramic stones. I noticed that one of them is VERY uneven. I posted on facebook about whether this was normal and it seemed that most people said it isn’t normal, but shouldn’t matter. Figured I’d ask here also. Thanks!

Ah…. that makes sense…. I didn’t even think about that.
Thanks!

Eric F started the topic Setting Angle (Bar Markings vs Angle Cube) in the forum Main Forum 7 years ago
I just got a WE130 and am trying to figure out how exactly to set the angle and am running into a weird problem. I first align the rod such that the inner edge of L bracket is at the line going through the 15 (… the 1|5 line). Which, theoretically, should be 15 degrees. I then attach the angle cube to the stone and it shows 14 degrees. Is…[Read more]
