Think what those things would cost if the plate was solid nickel.

I just got my Gen 3 Pro, and did some first sharpening yesterday on a old set of Henckles chef’s knives. I agree the 8″ rods are too short, especially for a couple of the longer knives and ordered a set of 12″ rods. I think one that is much too long will work better than one that is too short or marginal, so I skipped on the 10″.

I’m late to this party, just having received my WE a couple of days ago. As a pharmacist let me chime in. Ethanol, probably the least toxic of alcohol, is the one found in all the various beverages, and can be bought as a straight alcohol under the name Everclear in 151 or 190 proof which is 75.5 and 95% alcohol by volume. It is what ch…[Read more]

I took my new Gen 3 pro for it’s first outing today. I ended up with it sitting on a railing to my deck, with me standing on the ground so I could see more closely what I was doing. I used an ancient old hickory knife for the first try and although I had sharpened it freehand a few weeks back got it much better, but nowhere near perfect. My…[Read more]

Acetone is an excellent solvent, I have not received my WE yet, but did get in a set of ceramic stones. Acetone could, and I am not saying that it will, adversely affect the adhesive holding the stones to the handles, or even soften and melt the handles themselves, just depends on what kind of plastic they are made of. Basically acetone an…[Read more]

Hey MarchH. The only alcohol that is denatured is ethyl alcohol, ethanol, to make it taste very bad and unfit for consumption as a beverage. Isopropyl alcohol by nature , along with many other alcohols have a bad taste and are unfit for consumption, and in fact can be extremely toxic, methanol, ie, wood alcohol , being one of the most toxi…[Read more]

Hello, just ordered a WE Gen 3 pro, and a couple of sets of the finer ceramic stones for polishing. One set of stones have arrived and the sharpener is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I have used some other systems, like a DMT aligner which I don’t find too useful, an edge pro apex which I find a bit awkward. I seem to have trouble holding the kn…[Read more]
