Well all the pieces to my WEPS kit arrived today. Very impressed with the quality of the kit. I did a quick sharpen on a very old Pampered Chef small paring knife. I profiled and went through 1000 grit in the diamonds, 1.4/0.6 ceramics and the Chosera 2K/3K stone. The ceramics started to build the mirror finish, but the Chosera certainly bring out the mirror finish. I am looking forward to getting the stones broken in so I can get the best edge on my better knives. I have some other old kitchen knives that I will practice on tomorrow. I must say the micro-adjust on the ball joint arms is and awesome but much needed feature. 🙂

Jetech, I’ll buy your sharp maker if you want to sell. I noticed this device and would like to get one,

Beckbilt, I don’t plan to get rid of the Spyderco sharpener for quite some time. Once I have a WEPS edge on everything I own maybe I will consider it. I do have a set of Norton waterstones and an Edge Pro I will be looking to get rid of. The Spyderco is a great system “if” your knives are not too far gone to the dull side.

I can understand the answer, but working in the engineering field and maintenance, I like to also understand the reason. Anyone have any additional info why?

Thanks for the wealth of information here guys. I added the Chosera 2k/3k to my order based on the info on the WE page, “3000 grit combination picks up perfectly from the 1000 grit diamond stone”. When my kit gets here tomorrow I will see how it all works before I consider adding another stone set.

Thanks for the welcome. First question. I am getting the Pro Pack 2 this week which comes with the 1.4/0.6 ceramics. I also ordered a Chosera 2k/3k stone. Most grit charts I can find don’t list the 1.4/0.6 stones but instead list the 1200/1600. Can anyone shed some light on where the Chosera will fit in progression from a diamond 1000?

Thanks.

You really probably need the 800’s to speed things up, but you can go to the 2k choseras directly from the 1k diamonds. It may take more time. Make sure to rub them together frequently to clean them and provide slurry which will improve the cutting action of the abrasives. Keep us posted![/quote]

So where in this progression do the ceramic stones come into play? After 3K Chosera and before stropping? Thanks for the reply Josh.
