Are the riser blocks homemade or are you getting them from Wicked Edge or someone else?

Thanks for the insight as I had this occur on my test knife when I first started and couldn’t figure out what the hell I did…I use wine corks cut in various sizes, (thickness) to serve as a standoff.

Kevin, you’ve had nothing but bad experiences. Call W.E. they’ll make it right. Wicked Edge really needs to get they’re product vendors to improve their quality control! It reflects very poorly on Wicked Edge. I’m guessing they bottled a bad batch of 4µ emulsion. It’s easily remedied but a major inconvenience to users who spent their good $$ for good quality products. Sorry for your inconvenience, again!

I’ll give them a shout next week as I’m sure they’ll help me figure out what’s going on. I agree it seems like it may be a bad batch. The difference in the feeling between the 4 and 2m strops are significant. The 4m feels and sounds gritty on the leather and the 2m feels like butter. All in all it’s a minor setback…I’m having more fun than I should so I can complain too much…

I just got the 4/1 and 1/.5 last week and sent a note off to support about the 4. It came out like water?? The other grits were like a dollop of cream or toothpaste. Anyone else see the watery 4m emulsion? Is it normal??

I’m have the same issue with the 4m. I’ve been shaking the hell out of the bottle but it’s still the same watery solution.

Has anyone tried using a wine cork? I use them and they seems to work perfectly.
