I wasn’t sure if WE or someone on here sold a set of rods (pointed or rounded) to reach into that…[Read more]

Hi, pretty new to WE sharpening ~ 40 knives on my WE130. My issue is that I cannot reach the heel of knives with no sharpening choil. This is especially evident when working up to 3000 grit, 1.4 and 0.6 micron ceramic, and 4 and 2 micron diamond emulsion. I get an excellent mirror polish on the entire blade except the heel because the stone…[Read more]

This has been discussed countless times but all links users have posted are now defunct. Can someone post a link of the rubber dust boots that work? I have the Pro Pack III with WE130 if that matters. Thanks.
