I too am new to Wicked Edge. Purchased a Gen 4 Pro without the micro adjust (boy I wished I had included the micro adjust). Have 30 or so old kitchen knives and pocket knives. I put a chinese pocket knife (blade 5/8″at its widest part in the clamp and cranked the bevel up 21 degrees and it cleared the jaws. The jaws held the knife securely. I am learning as I go. Costly mistakes like too much pressure on 100 grit resulting in buying another on. Hope as I learn I can be of help to others. Jime
