Lars is my name and i live in Sweden. Just bought the WE F&S Pro + 5u,3.5u leather strops and man am i amazed! Super easy to get started and damn wicked edges
Only thing i was a little confused. Maybe not the right word is the clamp. Instead of holes to attach depth key and alignment bar there were three white lines on either side och the clamp. Gonna try to attach pic of it. Of all the pics i have seen I’ve never sen this clamp before.
Amazing system!! Thanks Clay! And this forum, what can i say it´s better than school
Got blue painters tape over the top just in case someone noticed.
Hey Lars, welcome! Good to see another European here.
You’ve got the F&S edition of the WE. This looks a bit different from the regular edition. The white lines on the clamp indicate the depth of clamping. If you record this for every knife you sharpen (along with the horizontal position of the knife) this eases repeatability.
I got the idea of depth recording with the lines. But haven’t seen F&S pics with those lines. the only - i can say and it´s no big deal is just that there is no depth key and alignment bar. But hey 2 more minutes to clamp a knife, who cares Just love the results that i can achieve with it
The lines are from the first production runs of the F&S Pro, before we added the Alignment Guide and Depth Keys. If you’d like to give us a call, we can see about updating your jaws.
Would love to call, but if we could have the conversation over mail I’ve would appreciate it. Don’t know the cost to call to USA from Sweden but my guess is much.
