New to this site, I just received my WE Go, I am so happy I bought it, waited a long time, but worth it..
I can’t buy new grits at this time, so I picked up some automobile sandpaper, 320, 1000, 1200 and 1500…
After using the 200/600 stones, I taped a piece to each stone, wow, is all I can say, I ended up with a mirror edge, as to stropping, I used a old leather belt, cut to fit the WE stones..
I included a few pictures, it’s hard to capture the results, but I am so happy, it’s amazing what results, you can get from sandpaper. .
The WE system, is incredible, I am very impressed. .
Totenkopfelite, Welcome to the Wicked Edge Forum. Enjoy your GO. Nice results for a first try. The results will improve greatly when you’re stones have broken in. Please, I invite you to read back in the forum. There’s years of plenty good information and experiencces to learn with. We’re here to help when we can. Good to have you here!
It’s funny, I must of said to my wife, 1000x, how much I love the GO..
Before I bought it, I looked at every other sharpening systems, but always came back to the WE, but being a retired firefighter, the cost was a bit high, then along came the GO, so I jumped on it..
My plan is to practice, and when I can, add a stone.
I really like the fact that there is a Forum for WE owners, it makes me feel, never on my own, help is only, a keystroke away..
