Nice to be here and looking forward to delivery - can’t be soon enough.
I plan to test the adage about there being no stupid questions…
Please do ask any questions! I think we all learn a lot from each other and you’re right - there is no such thing as a stupid question.

So that means… shipping starts towards the tail end of August/early Sept? Will all the backlogs go out (actually just interested if MY order goes out!).
Man..It’s been a long wait
Dmlevitt…when did you order?
OK! Good to see the forum go live! And since my original account is not active anymore, I’m introducing myself again 
I’m Tom Blodgett of Jende Industries, LLC. We help supply the Chosera and Shapton WEPS stones B) Needless to say, I really like my WEPS and am continually impressed at it’s ever expanding capabilities!
I’m looking forward to the discussions here!
Hi all, I received my WEPS last week, and have been sharpening ever since.I have already found out that this is addictive and I’m gonna have to add some accessories to my pro kit.
Welcome Tojo! Your next problem is going to be finding knives to sharpen. :cheer:
I bought 3 new knives to play with, have another half dozen in the queue that I could use my EP apex, but I figured I would just wait.
Which accessories are you looking at? And do you have a Costco-size box of band-aids??

He he, I’ve found that that my edge afterwards is so sharp that a little super-glue works better for reassembly :woohoo: :silly:
Wish I could claim that the one that just cost me stitches came from the WEPS, but it came from the EP. :whistle:

I’m gonna order the the 1200/1600 ceramic stones in the next day or so and then next month addd the Shapton stones. I have a box of knives and a few straight razors i’ve been buying over the last year or so to restore.
I got the ceramics ordered too but the price of the shapton stones has me hoping that stroppng will get the knives plenty sharp. I only have a few knives that could possibly need a surgical scalpel kind of sharpness. I have been looking into straight edges again …

I am a retired building contractor living in a small town (Clinton) in Arkansas. I live on Culpepper Mountain which is about 3 miles from Greers Ferry Lake. I have always had an interest in knives, but was never as good at sharpening as I wanted to be. I just ordered the WE sharpener and hope it give me the edge Iv’e always wanted to get on my knives. I am trying to get a good convex edge.
Hi Rick! You are very welcome here!You will soon be happy about buying a WEPS. It will give you the edges you always wanted.
Warm regards
Leo

Leo[/quote]Now, Leo, you should be more clear for our new friend. There are two soons at work here. The first soon is an arbitrary time interval referenced from the event of now when it is spoken to some expected event in the future–said event being when your WEPS arrives at your doorstep. The interval of time between that event pair is a nebulous thing, with thin, whispy tendrils of certainty wrapped around dense monoliths of uncertainty. How soon soon is is, in a word, unknowable, but management encouragement keeps us hanging on. :dry:
Now, the second soon is that interval of time between getting your WEPS and opening it (and setting up and using it successfully), which translates into happily.
I’m guessing that interval is about 60 seconds!! :silly:
