I modified an old Lansky clamp so I could use it as a low angle adapter. I can easily get angles lower than 15 degrees on my stockman or other small pocket knives. Very easy to do and very cheap as well.

If your holding the knife in the position to cut and blade is sharpened on the right side is that a right hand knife or left hand?

That would be a left handed knife.

We’re currently working on a new design for the jaws to solve the issue

Perhaps you should look at the V-shape solution that Work Sharp uses in their new Precision Adjust system which centers and holds the spine of the knife when clamped in the jaws.

Michael, how long ago did you purchase the 1500 grit stone? Is it a couple years ago or is it just recently, this year. What color is the plastic paddle and the center finger grips the 1500 diamond grit stone is mounted on?

I was also thinking about buying the 2200/3000 so I have the same question.
My 1500 stones are bought +/- 2 years ago. The 1500 stone is mounted on a green paddle and the center grips are black.

Hi Mark,

Here are some links for buying Isopropyl alcohol in the Netherlands

I have one of those cheap generic USB microscopes and I can connect it to my Android phone with a $0.40  OTG adapter

I than use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vaultmicro.camerafi

Thanks Frans. Did you ever try the LAA from WE or is this post theoretical?

No, I did not try the LAA as it costs €118.- (US$139,-) here in the Netherlands. This is of course not the fault of WE but in my opinion it is a ridiculous price.

Besides that, by looking at the photos and Youtube videos of the LAA, I am pretty sure that it is developed to get a lower angle on larger (wider) knives and still not very suitable for SAK style knives.

Welcome and have fun, as a fellow Dutch member, I can fully recommend the Wicked Edge.

I have no experience with the WiFi microscopes but I do use other WiFi (dashcam and 360 degrees) cameras with my phone and that works well.

I do use one of those cheap USB microscopes with my phone, using a cheap OTG adapter so if your phone supports OTG which most newer phones do, that might be an option for you as well.

The OTG adapters are less than 1 USD for 3 on eBay and that inlcudes shipping.

I have just received the replacement stones. It took a while for them to arrive but I could not have been happier. They fit of the handles on the rods is perfect and I love the 1500 grit stones and look forward to give them a try.

Clay, Kyle and the rest of the team, thanks for the perfect service and have a wonderful Christmas.

I guess I could order some 6K polish paper, provided they don’t ask crazy shipping prices for Europe.

Mark, you can just as easily buy them in the Netherlands at knives & tools or http://www.messen.nl/edge-pro-6000-grit-polish-tape.html

That is certainly interesting news, where have you read about it? I can’t find anything.

[Frans]

Nice, congratulations.

…but I still believe that quality control can be improved.

No argument there. It’s premature to announce anything, but we’ve taken some huge steps in the last few months with our supply/manufacturing chain and we should see much fewer issues with QC. In the next few months we will be able to announce the changes but for now, I am comfortable saying that I’m really excited about where things are headed.

That sounds very good, looking forward to the announcements.
