Here’s a great old question that was recently presented to me, again. To let you WE users know whether it’s a new or older model, we’re here to help at this facebook group and at this Forum also.

Try to look at the break-in differently. You are figuring or using a counting method that will mechanically get the stones broken in with time and effort. What I suggest is you pay attention to the stone’s feel, of each grit, grit by grit, as you use them. Use the break-in time to familiarize yourself with how the stones feel new as compared to…[Read more]

Welcome to the W.E. Forum, Jim Egerton.

The W.E. loupe is a lighted magnifying glass similar to one used b stamp collectors. I does what it’s supposed to do.

There are better, more powerful magnification, lighted instruments to use. I prefer to work with a digital USB Microscope.  

I use the microscope to inspect every aspect of my sharpening/polishing regimen. (The scope can be u…[Read more]

The precision and accuracy is there. It’s for you to utilize.  I see +/-0.03º with due diligence, effort and attention to details. It’s more work than is needed to achieve a very nicely sharpened knife.  The precision will allow you to go as far as you want to, to explore “how sharp is sharp”

The Dual-Cam vise, included with the Gen 4 Pros and WE66s, clamps and holds very well. Since I sharpen mostly full-size chef’s knives, I do always work with a Stabil-Rizer Clamping System Accessory on all my WEPS setups. This is for added rigidity, and lateral or rotational stability.

The Microangle adjusters allow you to utilize the full…[Read more]

Welcome to the W.E. Forum Lee.

First, Micro-Angle adjusters are necessary in my experiences to allow you to precisely match bevels angles as applied by the knife maker. The G4P model without the micro-adjusters will not give you the selective predictable, precision control of all your angle settings.

The WE66 and the Gen 4 Pr0 will allow for…[Read more]

Please try to join. I’ll watch for it.

WE has not made the Dual-Cam vises available, yet. The WE60 would require an adapter to use that Dual-Cam vise because the mount or base is different with those models; WE64 & WE66. I suspect W.E. is developing an upgrade option now that we’ll see in the future.

The Wicked Edge Precision Sharpening Systems are a guided sharpening system that uses angled sharpening stones. It is not a belt type automated sharpening setup.

The WE has a scissor adapter and a chisel attachment, accessories. The WE was not designed nor is it intended to use on larger blades and power tool blades, or chain saw blades.

This the third installment of Sunday School – Knife Talk.

I try to explain and maybe misspell sharpening myths when for asymmetrically ground and uneven bevel knives. I try to help you identify these knives I explain the sharpening ratios.
