My wife just bought me the Wicked Edge Pro Pack. I’ve been drooling over it for months, but she knows I’m too tight to buy it for myself.
It came in 2 days ago, and it hasn’t had much downtime since. I’m loving it!
I’ve tried to sharpen by hand my whole life with pretty poor results. I bought a Lansky system about 10 years ago and my results improved greatly, but I would spend well over an hour sharpening (and flipping) 1 knife. When I saw the WE online, it was love at first sight. One set-up, and off to the races. Being naturally left handed, but growing up doing everything right handed makes it very easy for me to use both hands simutaneously.
I’m still breaking in the stones, and can’t get a mirror polish yet. I know with time and experience it will come, but the sharpness and time saved are already quantum leaps over anything I’ve ever experienced. Great product!
Now I have a list going for Christmas…Extra coarse diamond, ceramics, maybe some more strops (already cut into one a little). Once I get all my old knives razor sharp, I’ll have an excuse to get more knives!!!
. By now my girlfriend tolerates my knife hobby and she loves to have sharp kitchen knives, but I haven’t shown her the bill for my Shapton stones
