Welcome to the forum, Shannon! Great your first edges come out so well already. The knowledge base article Marc links to is indeed useful. If you want to check out the entire knowledge base, you can click on the link at the top right corner of this page.

Wow, that looks delicious! What a pity it’s almost freezing here…

Congrats! I just logged in, but it seems to be working fine.

And, it’s another topic and I already sent you an email about it, but weird things seem to be happening at the forum. Could you take a look at the message following this link: https://knife.wickededgeusa.com/forums/topic/interested-help-narrowing-it-down-please/#post-42333

I can only add I have one of these and it’s absolutely great! Marc can make them to specs (within reasonability) and his “customer service” is great, too! Highly recommended.

Regarding the difference between FFG and FG knives I tend to agree with Graphite.

Many tips have been given already on how to clamp them. I always use a piece of chamois, which works fine for me, but I think Tom’s method also works very well (and may be even more accurate).

Welcome to the forum, JRK!

More than once I seem to agree with Organic and Marc.

If you want the system that best suits these needs, particularly for such knives, undoubtedly that’s the WEPS. It gives you much more control than, e.g., a belt grinder, and the quality of your edges will be better with some practice. And if you want them to look…[Read more]

That indeed looks a bit uneven. Whether it matters in practice… I think you have to find that out, I cannot say it from a distance. But if it doe,s just give WE a call. Their customer service is very good.

Welcome to the forum, Loremipsum!

I totally agree with Organic and I think you made the right choice. That said, Marc also has a point about the WE120. I think part of it is also how much money you want to invest.

Welcome to the forum, Eric! And I think your question has been answered already, but if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

A stropped knife will loose the wire edge, but stropping will also make the edge sharper apart from that (due to burnishing). And if you’re going for a mirror polish, the answer is quicky made.

Thanks gents, that’s useful cooking information 🙂 . I’ll definitely do it that way next time.

Thanks, that’s useful! Marc, for example, user names, passwords and other sensitive information will be encrypted over the internet. Also, if you use an insecure Wifi hotspot, your information cannot be listened in on there. Moreover, companies like Google are really pressing sites to use https only; in the future they might even block sites that…[Read more]

If I sharpen FFG blades, using some chamois works great, no need to add foam.

Just to answer part of my own question, I found this on the web. It’s a turkey, not a chicken, but it seems quite helpful.

Still, my question remains: is it better to spatchcock or cut up the chicken before putting it in the oven or doesn’t it really matter?

On to stay on topic: I have quite a few kitchen knives, but no honesuki. I think this…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, Justin! I also tried the WE130 vise (and I am expecting a permanent one…) and I can confirm it works much easier than the older one. The only thing I find odd is that you are not able to clamp your knives securely in the older vise. I usually only use some painters tape to protect the knife against scratches and if I turn…[Read more]

Last weekend I grilled for the first time a complete chicken in my oven without spatchcocking (learned a new word 🙂 ) it first. It was quite a success and we loved the chicken taste and its crispy skin. We only had some problems pulling the chicken apart at the table, mostly because I’m not very good at the anatomy of chickens 🙂 . But we’ll…[Read more]

Wellcome to the forum, Jay Allen! If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask..

Welcome to the forum, Snowking! Try and give them a phone call. These seem to be answered more quickly. Success and hoping for you there’s a Black Friday (of which I’m not aware….).

Hi Chris, thanks a lot. That makes PM-ing a lot easier.

I also pm-ed you this, but as it was as a test, I repeat it here.

One thing I still do wrong (as you have noticed) is to press Enter to go to the next line. This sends the message.

What I also wonder is whether we can now, for example, include blank lines (see above) or bullet lists (see…[Read more]
