Good afternoon,
I can tell you guys what I’ve done. I use an iPhone.
1. Create a new contact
2. Take a picture of the knife mounted in your WEPS, use that picture as the new contacts picture
3. Use the custom settings within contacts to create any fields and track any information about a specific knife
Does that make s…[Read more]

Good afternoon Marc,
Thank you for the update. I think what you’ve made me is the perfect Rack-it for the space I’ve allocated. I’m eager to receive my Rack-it.
I’ll update this post with a picture when it arrives.

Good afternoon MarcH,
If drawers are available for my Rack-it I’d really appreciate you including them. The drawers look very handy.

Good afternoon sksharp & MarcH,
Thank you for taking the time to further explain and help me understand what I’m doing, really, what I should be doing with my WEPS.
I’ve read what you’ve written a couple of times, you’ve helped me see the view from 30,000 feet. Now I’m able to move forward.
Thank you.

Good morning MarchH,
I apologize for my late response. I’m growing accustomed to navigating the forum and keeping up with the conversations to which I’m a participant.
Thank you for the square cam follower advice. I’m going to do this because I’ve been having issues for some time and was completely unaware of this solution.

Good afternoon Anarchy84,
I’ve read your response several times and am having trouble visualizing this in my minds eye. I really need to understand your explanation because I’m having issues finding the sweet spot.
In step 3 you said to rest the stone against the flat portion of the blade. Are you saying to rest the stone against the part of the…[Read more]

Good afternoon MarcH,
Questions, like sins are very similar. Rarely does someone come up with a new one.
I have so many questions and when I stopped reading the forum and started thinking about what I’d read I thought there is no way these experienced guys are going to answer all of my questions. The lazy and disrespectful (I’m usually fai…[Read more]

Thank you for posting this video. As soon as I saw this gentleman’s explanation the “sweet spot” light bulb went off for me.

Good evening MarcH,
Thank you for this reply. Is there ever a time when you can’t determine the knife’s existing angle?

Good evening sksharp,
It sounds like the best idea is to reprofile new knives based on knife steel, quality, hardness, durability and intended use since there are so many variables beyond our initial control.
Do you generally reprofile your new knives?

Good evening Gentlemen,
I really appreciate your taking the time to reply to my questions.
I must admit that I’ve read your reply MarcH, two times, and being a visual learner I expect to read it at least two more times tomorrow. Thank you for the information as both of you have taught me a great deal.
I very much appreciate the amount of time I…[Read more]

Good afternoon Everyone,
After ruining about $1,000.00 worth of knives (they’re being repaired) I’ve learned to stop in situations like this one, swallow my pride, and appeal to the foremost experts. Oddly enough I’m stopping and appealing to you about a $20 knife, not the $200 knives I previously rendered unserviceable.

I finally got the cam to move into its seated / lowered position.
I couldn’t get it to move at first. I tried pushing it down with my finger / thumb and it wouldn’t seat. Then I tried gently tapping the cam with a screw driver handle. This didn’t work.
I blew the WE off with canned air and finally got the cam to seat.
It still doesn’t feel ri…[Read more]
