Justin replied to the topic 2200/3000 Diamond stones in the forum Abrasives 5 years, 2 months ago
What do you mean by 1.5- 2.0 times the previous grit? The reason I want to get the 2200/3000 diamonds is to replace the 2000 and 3000 sandpaper Im using since it doesnt last long and takes time swap out and replace. I would like to just grab stones and go. I also like the fact I would be able to continue with the diamond family before I hit the…[Read more]

I was very careful to make sure I was applying the right paste to the right side of the strops. I have kept them separate in the plastic that they came in to be cautious about not cross contaminating them. Ive come to…[Read more]

I don’t have a microscope or loupe yet but they are on my list so at this point the only way of telling to move on is by feel and sound. I do have an angle cube and check my angle each time I go to the next grit. Thats a good looking edge!
Since the day I started with the W.E. I haven’t relied on the angle markings on the bars since the…[Read more]

I have recorded all the knives Ive sharpened so far in the booklet that came with the W.E. so I was able to clamp the knife in the same position I sharpened it before. My stone progression is this; Scrubbing motion with lowest grit needed till burr is formed then 50 alternating strokes per side x 3 per grit. I did that same progression with the…[Read more]

Hello. My name is Justin. Im new to the Wicked Edge and been cruising the forum to learn tips and tricks for a sharp edge.

I noticed after hitting the 1600…[Read more]
