130 pro pack fwiw

When I first started out with the WE I chose the WE100

since thenI have upgraded and upgraded now the only thing original to my kit is the base and a whole lot more money spent than if I would have gotten the 130pp

Whichever system u go with i would at the very least get the 10 inch guide rods

Each system has it own…[Read more]

I would like to see a shirt with the logo and under the logo. Printed”nuff said”

I have the safety shields and the cut resistant gloves both of which are new

send me a pm (private message) with shipping details and you are more then welcome to have them

1. If u can’t find anyone to sharpen and reprofile it I will be happy to do it for u I’m located n Ohio

If it was me I would send the stone back and ask for another one I believe the problem probably lies in the paddle its self seeing how its plastic or the glue

funny how most are dead set on using the digital angle gauge etc. and then when the paddle is out of whack its “ok”

Clearly the item is defective and should be replace

The difference between s 30v and s35v is that s35v will chip more due to it chemical make up so u have to be a little more careful on what and how u cut

As far as edge holding goes I feel they are pretty equal in that respect

1. This is my opinion from my experience

My edc’s are a zt in Elmax and a cold steel in ctx xhp also a spyderco in s30

The Elmax is the one I use the most but harder to sharpen

The s30v and the xhp I feel are similar with a nudge towards the xhp

 

as Mr.Burns on the Simpson’s would say

Excellent

Lovn his belt sander vids

Uneven and asymmetrical are one in the same especially when followed with the same wording hence uneven grind or asymmetrical grind are in fact the same.

I think an asymmetricaly sharpened edge would be more appropriate

All I was trying to do was point out to the OP  was fact that most not all factory sharpened edge has an uneven grind or…[Read more]

I do I have several (different edges) to choose from

I just got the microscope so I can better understand what is going on with the edge. Sure beats the loupe

its a big difference going from hand to the WE system and for sure quicker .

Although new to the site I’m not new to sharpening been a hobby since I was around 15 now 52

Its customer dependant

If they want a sharp edge with workablity I normally just run up to 1500 grit and stop there

But u do get some who like to have a pretty edge

And it’s good for business as it bring extra coinage to the table

And I to am in that list it is nice to show off sometimes after all we are males lol

Sk sharp

I recall the debate about the lapping film around 6 months or so as I recalled it was with WE brand at that time I did not own the machine as I was still doing it all by hand but using Nanolap films in the process. once I acquired the WE and igot t hestones broke in properly I decided to give the films a try and have been liking the…[Read more]

I don’t think I was mentioned but prior to sharpening did you notice if the knife itself already had an asymmetric grind?

Some knives I have sharpened in the past had an uneven grind right from the factory

Clay, please do keep us updated as I have been looking into purchasing that same knife in the same steel
