I just want to thank everyone that has been giving me advice on using this system. Yes, I definitely went down the rabbit hole lol.

I decided to touch up my…[Read more]

Maybe I should reconsider the film. What grits do you guys recommend?

I was thinking that the ceramics may help with polishing. I am not having any problems getting a very sharp edge. Just wanting to smooth the grit marks. Don’t really want to get into the tapes.

Hi everyone. I have a question for you guru’s. I have the WE130 . Stones include 100-2000. I am thinking of purchasing the superfine 1.4 and .6 ceramic stones to use before going to my leather strops. Currently have the 5 micron 3 micron and 1 micron also the .5 strops. Is this a good progression?

I bought a set of 4 of these. Great addition to the system. Right now, I’m using just one on the bottom of each rod. This prevents the possibility of going below the bevel and scratching the knife. Buy them, you won’t regret it. Great feedback and shipping from airscapes

@airscapes , Thanks for the stone stoppers. They are excellent. My WE 130 can let the stone go below the bevel creating scratches. your stops eliminate that possibility. Great product

Thanks for the responses. I saw the stone mounted shields on the accessories page. I may get both. i’m not sure about the gloves but better safe than sorry. I check my edge a lot and I think the gloves may get to be a chore taking them on and off. Maybe the shields would be more user friendly.

Well, It’s definitely going to take some practice lol. I bought a couple of cheap knives to play with. The one I just sharpened had 440c steel. I took my time and set the angles with my angle cube. Took it to 18. Worked it down starting with the 200 grit. I worked a burr on both sides and progressed up to a 1000 grit. Managed to cut myself twice.…[Read more]

Thanks Organic. I’m looking forward to it. I’m not new to sharpening but I am to this system. Should be an exciting venture.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I just ordered a WE130 with stones up to 1000 grit. I wasn’t sure which plano box to order. I’m sure I will be adding more as I go. I need to probably go ahead and order strops but not sure which ones to buy.

Hi guys,
Just wondering what everyone is using to store the stones. I see references to a Plano box on videos. Which model?

Hello everyone,
Just signed up. I’m fixing to buy a wicked edge system. I am leaning toward the 130 model right now. Any advice would be appreciated.
Look forward to meeting everyone.
