Is there a place where we can buy some plastic or metal alan knobs for the micro adjustments on W/E?

@MarcH pm sent.

Thanks for the info guys. I will probably hold off on the newer L-brackets for now & see how mine hold up, Ive already spent so much on this system on upgrades its ridiculous. I personally believe we should be allowed discounts on these expensive upgrades from W/E especially since at least for me some of them came almost right after I purchased my W/E.

@tcmeyer thanks for the detailed info although I had a somewhat dificult time with what you were describing. It appears that some people are having issues with the screws on the main adjustment bar coming loose & others are having issues with the screws on the micro adjustment. So far I havent really made large adjustments on the micro adjustments during sharpening but I will keep an eye on it & possibly test it out as I am due for a touch up on my ZT0393 and my Mora bushcraft as well as some others Im sure.

Has anyone brought this issue to Clays attention yet?

I havent noticed this happening with mine yet but I am cosidering upgrading to the new L-brackets with the all steel thumb screws but I am concerned I might begin to have this problem if the newer style L-brackets are the cause?

I have the older Wicked Edge Field and Sport Professional Sharpener from Jan. of 2017 probably just before all the upgrades came out. However I have upgraded everything including the new vice and everything else except the newer L-brackets.

Is this issue happening to you guys on units with the old L-brackets with the plastic thumb screws or the newer version L-brackets with the all metal thumb screws?

Also is it just certain model sharpeners cause all the degree bars have detents in them, I think?

Wait what I cant sharpen my PM2’s on the WE. One of the main reasons I bought the F&S pro (on order) was for my PM2 knives. Im confused so those of you that heat up the paddles and remove the platen how are you reattching them to the paddles?

And what the hell is a sharpening notch and why is their cardboard stuck in it in the picture above lol? Seriously this is alarming one of the reasons I bought this ($600+) system is so I wouldnt have to take shortcuts and rig things up to work properly. This is only the most popular highest selling knife of all time with nearly 50 different versions and the wicked edge cant sharpen it as is?

My F&S Pro will be here 2morrow. I am trying to decide on what extra paddles to buy. I want to know if I can go from the thousand grit diamonds to 1500 grit diamonds then to 5 micron lapping & finally 1 micron lapping. Is that a good progression?

Also are the aluminum oxide lapping films any good?
