Marc H replied to the topic What strokes do I use for cross hatching? in the forum Main Forum 4 years, 8 months ago
To change the direction of the scratch pattern start the first stroke with the stone direction of motion from the knife heel traveling across the knife towards the tip. The next scratch pattern I start with the stone at the knife tip then traveling across the knife to the heel. This will make a cross hatch pattern when both strokes are done edge…[Read more]

Marc H replied to the topic Shun Knife in the forum Tips for Specific Knife Grinds and Styles 4 years, 8 months ago
Every Shun I’ve sharpened and everything I’ve read about Shuns, when researching them, says the factory bevel is 16 dps. They do not have a micro-bevel from factory. The edges though are very thin at the tip portion and the bevels although at 16 degrees appear very small, almost tiny, resembling some micro-bevels, they’re that small.
It takes v…[Read more]

Marc H replied to the topic How far do you drop back in grits when renewing an edge ? in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 4 years, 8 months ago
Most of us used various methods to sharpen our knives before we came to buy our Wicked Edges. I venture to guess we sharpen knives as much because we like to have a sharp knife, to use, as we like to sharpen knives just for the enjoyment. Many of us came to buy our Wicked Edge sharpeners because we enjoy using the this and other knife s…[Read more]

Marc H replied to the topic Angle cube variability/inconsistency and jumpiness in the forum Advanced Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 4 years, 8 months ago
Here’s what I’ve used and my Pros and Cons:
- Smart Phone: newer $1000 smart phones (inclinometer apps). Phones scratch easily holding them up against W.E. diamond sharpening stones and they are non-magnet so they have to be hand-held in position to use the app.
- iGaging AngleCube Digital Level – does pretty well. Readings roll a lot and h…

His name is Micheal Emler with his channel “Crazy Sharp” . I’ve never see or heard of him before. Nor do I know anything about the knife or steel. I surmise he’s just another of many knife and knife sharpening enthusiasts that post YouTube videos vying for your subscriptions and support.

Marc H replied to the topic How far do you drop back in grits when renewing an edge ? in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 4 years, 8 months ago
I share Richards opinion. Which grit I choose depends on the condition of the blade I’m touching up. This is an experience based decision. There is no set rule which grit to start with. The only thing I would agree with is that for a touch-up I almost always can begin with a finer grit then I would use for a first time knife sharpening tha…[Read more]

Marc H replied to the topic Does it stay cleaner in the forum Welcome Mat 4 years, 8 months ago
Eric, from my own experiences, yes, once the diamond stones have broken in, less loose and excess diamond grit is sloughed off from the stone paddles and onto the sharpener. Besides the stone debris, knives being sharpened for the very first time, with the W.E., will yield more steel dust as they are being profiled this first sharpening, then…[Read more]

I employ several sharpening strokes in a repeated process, grit and finer grit. These different sharpening strokes, this protocol, makes up my sharpening technique.
The burrs that are formed, that I did observe and photograph with the USB microscope, are an indicator that effective sharpening technique is being practiced. These burrs formed ar…[Read more]
