LOL – listening to the book “Live from New York” – behind the scene interviews with cast members and writers from 1975 – 2015 – very interesting stuff. SNL was a “must see” for me

Thanks – it would be a hefty investment if I am only doing a few – will be good to know

The scissor attachment did hold the blade correctly and am well aware of its intended use. Just thought I would try it to see if the desired angle could be reached

Thanks – not sure I want to make a huge investment and also not sure it would get me to 45 degrees. I do have the scissor attachment and it was not close enough

Looking to see if there is any “tricks” or modifications that can help get the required angle. Looking at possibly an extension on the bottom rod that the guides…[Read more]

Looking for some help on what grit progression to sharpen these knives (the three longest ones in the photo). Not sure what make they are but the gentleman who brought them to me said he purchased them directly from Japan some years ago.
Before I did anything, I tested the sharpness on some phone book paper and the knives cut through it with…[Read more]

I will agree with MarcH as after some research I purchased the WE130 in November 2019 with stones up to the 3000 grit and am extremely happy with the results.
