Hi Roper, I’m new to weps as well. I started with old knives to practice and it did not take long to get great results. I also ordered the ceramic stones in 1200 / 1600 and extra strops. You will never have to put up with a less than perfect knife ever again.

I have another question. I read somewhere that there are shorter screws for the jaws that allow small thin blades to be sharpened without the end of the screw scratching the stone. Are those available? I’m having a hard time with little knives. I sent a message to technical support, is that what I should do?

Thank you Mark. What an obvious solution I didn’t even see.

I have another question. I am usually only able to get both arms within about .2 degrees of each other. I have an angle cube and I can get the angle right but when I tighten the screw it slides into the little divot in the angle adjustment rod and changes the angle by up to .5 degrees. I have to go back and forth a few times to get the angle of the arms as close together as possible. What am I doing wrong? Does .2 or .25 degrees make a big difference in sharpness?

I will try to do a video Mark. I ordered the 1200 and 1600 ceramic stones and the 1 and .5 strops. I’m going to try to put the famous mirror weps finish on my old Gerber. Thank you for your help!

I would say yes you are. It takes one to know one.

Thank you Mark76. Everything in my Pro Pack 1 looked great except one of my arms was a little sloppy. One arm was rock solid, very impressive and the other has some play in it. Is that normal?
