Nice knives !! you’re gonna be a busy man with the W.E.
Post pics of the final results after using your W.E. please.
Beautiful! Definitely not what I would classify as “typical Swedish”. Very interested to see the “after” pictures as well.
Great collection! Do you make any of your own knives? I used to dabble with it, but I got too old too quick.
Got my Wicked Edge about 6-7 months ago. After 40+ years of hand sharpening, it’s an eye opener.
Contrary to the demo video, I recommend sweeping away from the edge instead of into it. I think there’s a danger of applying too much pressure and breaking diamond grit out of the substrate. I’ve wrecked a couple of diamond bench stones this way. Using the WE sharpener showed me it’s not necessary to drive the edge into the stone. Sweeping backwards does not leave a burr.
Last week I touched up our kitchen knives and went a little too far. Scary sharp! I should buy stock in Band-Aids. Better to stop at about 800 grit - maybe even 600.
Good luck with your new rig.
Beautiful!
no i dont make the blades myself, i send a drawing to blade makers and they do it for me, i put on the scales and do leather/kydex sheats for them. I want to start grinding my own blades and maybe sometime i will doing that.
(Definitely not what I would classify as “typical Swedish”) no when im started doing knives i was just doing swedish knives but i got tired of it, now its 90% full tang knives im doing.
thanks all
Hey Martin,
I’ve thought of doing that myself and have seen how they do that in Laguiole. Basically they “just” use a belt grinder to shape the scales after they fixed them to the blade. Is that how you do it?
i mostley juse files and sandpaper after i saw out the shape of the scales, its many ways to do it but in the end its the finish that counts 
i went to the post office today and got something:P
im in love…had to take it out to the forest and try it direct. it chopps great and the best is that it doesnt feel anything in the hand ore arm, i could go on forever, dam what a knife.
the sheat is made of all wood and is beautiful. im happy:silly:

Very nice. Can you give me some pointer for attaching scales with pins? I have to put a handle a my new Farid knife.

Clay:
this is almost like im doing my full tang knives.5.16min in the movie.

often i glue one scale and drill for the pin than glue the other side and drill through both scales and the knifeblade last thing glue the pins before am starting sanding for final shape.everybody does diferent, but mostly i want the scales shape/form as close as they will be when finnish before i glue them.
sorry for my bad english:blush:
martin
and here is another video…it helps to have a sander and a pillar drill and go very slow and dont stress:whistle: its very nice to se the knife slowly turn into a thing that you are proud of making;)

It seems simplicity itself, but I am too impatient and would foul up somewhere along the line because of rushing things…impatience is my Achilles Heel. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge Martin! Very well done my friend! :cheer:
Huzzahs for you!
Leo
impatience is my Achilles Heel too, and i hope that clay isnt to tired of all my mails: when will i get it and so on…:unsure: but now its on its way. And im so happy almost like a child at christmas waiting for santa to show up.:lol:
