A goal of mine is to put a very uniform, beautiful edge on my knives as well as family and friends’ knives as well. I have noticed some variance in the look of the edge from one Wicked Edge owner to another.

What is normally done ensure that a bevel appears uniform and even on both sides, from heel to tip?

I don’t have any experience with the Wicked Edge, myself. But I do have a Pro Pack 2 on order.
