All I can say is it takes time and a lot of practice to develop your own personal skillset. I do things that I’ve discovered assist me in obtaining a final objective that aren’t even mentioned on this forum but it works me so be patient and be careful.

I bought one and have used it several times, especially on smaller pocket knives and an occasional paring knife. The blade heighth on these particular examples don’t lend enough clearance for the stone to clear the vice even with using the Low Angle Adapter (LAA). It does the trick, there are some good YouTube videos on how to properly use it as…[Read more]

Guten tag Pirate and welcome to the forum. Yes, phone book paper is an excellent media to measure your edge with. In the videos that Clay demonstrates his techniques on, he uses printer paper which is fine and maybe that’s where you want to start. A 1000 grit edge should scream through printer paper, then progress to the phone book paper since…[Read more]

Another point I wanted to make is that people don’t understand our craft and I’ll give you an example of what happened today. I get up this morning and some guy who I didn’t know had e-mailed me last night saying that he needed three kitchen knives he wanted sharpened so right away I’m in the dark regarding what kind of knife it is and how much…[Read more]

You know I said that because it happened to me, right? Taught me to use a lot of masking tape. Lesson learned.

I personally just created a Google Business page and began getting hits immediately, they bugged the heck out of me for months wanting me to enhance it and spend money but I just kept ignoring them and the calls finally ceased. But my advice is to not bite off more than you can chew probably for the first year. Get really good at, for example,…[Read more]

Richard replied to the topic YouTube video shows drawing a burr on both sides between each stone in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 2 months ago
It’s really true that instead of feeling for a burr, you can use the USB microscope (or really just your naked eyes) to see the light being reflected off of what want’s to be an apex. I have high intensity LED lights shining on both sides of the blade and it’s really remarkable how great that method works.

Richard replied to the topic Freshening kitchen knife edges. . . . in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 2 months ago
I tend to agree. I usually start at 800 grit and go from there. If I’m not seeing consistent scratch patterns the entire length of the blade, I drop it to maybe 600 to dig in a little deeper and go from there.

Richard replied to the topic Larger Right Bevel in the forum Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 2 months ago
I do appreciate this post because I’ve been experiencing pretty much the same thing over the few years I’ve had my Gen3. Every single time I clamp a knife into it, I get angle variations off to the right and I’ve always wondered if there’s a way to correct the variation without shimming the knife back to the left. Tomorrow, I’ll do a few…[Read more]

Anyone have any experience doing one? I got a request over the weekend and don’t know if I’m setup to do one. That curve kind of makes me nervous.

Marc,
Thank you for you comment and I have taken it to WE with no results to this point.
I do know this is a work horse by every definition. Was just worried about the spring between the cam lobe and clamping arm. It definitely works very well, but didn’t know if it was original equipment or not.

Hello Everyone,
It’s been a while since I have been on this forum but need som information if anyone may have it. I recently purchased this unit and once I received it I have some questions in regards to how it is put together. Does anyone have anything on this unit.
