Thanks! It was shaving sharp before I started and it’s super shaving sharp now. Plus the bevel is more “polished” looking now. So I”m happy with it.

Yes but it wasn’t dull to start with. Just wanted to touch it up a little.

I worked on it a little with the 9 micron diamond lapping film and then some with my leather strop (manual) and it’s looking a lot better than before I started.

Okay, thanks for the advice and I will check it out. I went ahead and ordered an Advanced Alignment Guide so I can record my settings when I start to sharpen my good knives.

Appreciate it and yeah I had marked the bevel with the black sharpie that came with the WE. I had to adjust the angle a few times to get it to remove all the marker. So I’m learning. lol.

I was able to get a pretty good edge on this cheap $5 knife from walmart. This is finishing with the 9 micron diamond lapping film. I’m practicing on cheap knives before I try out the WE on my expensive knives. lol .Thanks for everyone’s advise!

Thanks for the link. I’ll have to get me one of those.

May I ask what you guys use to inspect the blade edge with so close?

Thanks,
Steve
