I think a nice high quality case should be availabe for the WEPS. Big enough to hold the WEPS, the paperstone base, a full array of all WE stones, and thoughtfully divided for all of these items so it can be neat and proffesional. I envision this for any of us who will travel and sell our knife sharpening. It should be something durable and attractive with the Wicked Edge logo, and optional laser engraving to personalize it. Perhaps the aluminum or Pelican cases?
Sounds real nice to me. I’ll be lugging it around and would buy a case!
No offense to WE, but I would prefer my name and logo on a case for a services/work I was providing using a tool I purchased…
But a case would be nice, just the same, even to just store the WE off the worktable.
I found a pistol case at Cabela’s that fits the paperstone base, and fits perfectly with the stones beside it if you rip out the bottom foam piece. Now I just need some thin foam I can cut out a new bottom and custom fit everything else, as well as hold everything down during transport.
I dont sharpen in the case like the picture, I just put it in there assembled for reference.
That’s pretty sweet!
That is awesome!
I ordered some diced foam inserts from Amazon. I will package the whole thing up, and post pictures when it looks even better.
I am so getting one of those!
Same! That will make packing for the road a lot easier.
If anyone has any ideas to seperate the stones from each other, and form a second row of stones on top of the bottom row, let’s have em! I would like a tray of sorts, even if it seperates them by 1/4". You wouldnt fit as many stones in each layer, but 2 layers would be enough stones for most anyone. I can fit the 100/200, 400/600, 800/1000, 1200/1600, 5/3.5u, in one row (10 stones), but spacing them would drop 2 stones most likely, but if you do a second row you would be able to fit 16 stones, or do 3 rows, and fit 24 stones.
My case, still want to make a better one though but this works for now.
The paper towels keep the stones from moving, the top foam just touches
the top of the vise so it does not move, got lucky there

That looks great! I took your guys’ cue and ordered some bigger cases from Cabelas, hopefully will have them in today to experiment with. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Could someone tell me the height of the WEPS? SO if mounted, from the base top to the peak of the clamp. I trying to determine how deep of a case I will need as my WEPS is on backorder. Thanks
I measure the clamp at 4 1/2 " and the paperstone base at 1 1/4" so 5 3/4" total.
Thanks. I going to try and put my whole WEPS system in a Pelican 1550. I’ll keep ya’ll(I’m from Georgia)posted.
Hmmm, I’ve got a Pelican case for my camera lenses - maybe I should try it for a WE case!
Yeah a 1550 is pricey compared to that pistol case. I’ve got one lying around that I couldn’t pass up from Craigslist, it was $60 new in box. Finally found a use for it.
Hey Guys,
Found this website and am ordering a case from them. A little pricey, but MADE IN THE USA!
They are putting 1" layers of 2# foam that i can cutout to fit the profile of what i want. They are gluing 1/2" foam on top and bottom. Plan on using plexiglass to seperate stones into 2 levels with foam glued to the plexiglass. Hope this makes sense to those who read it!

Which case did you order and did you have to specify the different layers of foam? If you dont mind would you let us know how much the case cost.

Lucky,
I don’t have access to the Pricing that I was given, but will post when I get home.
For the foam I just specified 1/2" 2 lb foam glued to the lid and bottom of the case.
They will then lay in the 1" thick 2 lb foam unglued in the bottom (4 pieces), 1 1" thick Piece for the top.
I can cutout the individual 1" pieces the way I need it, then will glue in with a glue gun.
The cases can be anodized also. I ordered the model 216 C style case 21x13x6 for the WE.
