The WE120 is your tool. Use it how you may. For situations with very wide angles I replaced the pointed thumb screws with flat ended nylon thumb screws (10-32). These nylon thumb screws will lock the mini “L” brackets in position simply compressing against the flat sides of the square bar. If you message me with your email address and mailing…[Read more]

Welcome to the W.E. Forum Ribstabsheart.

It sounds as though you’re putting in the effort and you have a good understanding of what you’re doing. You included a lot in your post. I’ll try to break it down to address each issue.

The W.E. is basically a bench vise that clamps and holds knives vertically allowing us to move the sharpening stone…[Read more]

I mounted my new WE60 on the base from my WE120.

The WE60 is not upgradeable:

WE60 was released yesterday. Now listed on the W.E. website $275.

Clay has said to look for the release of the other models this fall, possibly Nov.

Here’s another pre-release blog for the WE60 model. This one was published by the Australian Wicked Edge Dealer, Zanvak:

Tony, you might consider joining the W.E. FaceBook Group to post this want-to-sell there also. There are always interested buyers on the FB group. I have posted the link for you here:

Tom_G,

I believe tcmeyer, airscapes and me are putting to practice a method based on graphite’s illustrated technique. For me, at first the clamping positions were intuitive. Like tcmeyer, I just looked at the knife’s shape and clamped it how it looked like it would work well. Later it became experienced based. Now I can look at a blade shape and…[Read more]

I see the white outline of a chef’s knife on a black backround.  Is there an explanation or question along with the image?

Tom_G,

I had trouble when the image size was over the limit.  I don’t remember getting an error that said “image too big.”

That said, I now use the free software Gimp to resize my images before uploading.

If the image file is on your device, down at the bottom left of the page you can click “Select file” in the greyed out box. That will allow you to select the file from your device. After added the file at the bottom, you can click on insert in post to include the photo in your post.

Tom_G, I tried to figure out your issue and inadvertently added an image…sorry about that. I could not delete the photo attached.

After you click add media, then add it to all the images, and click it so it’s marked with a check mark in the square, on the image. Then lower right click “insert in post”. Hope this helps.

I have this from several years ago. It’s a chart or spread sheet that was put together by an engineer who is a Wicked Edge user. Is this what you’re talking about?  It’ll let you set the bevel angle by edge height and ball end distance from the knife’s centerline:
