Wicked Edge GO Update

Legacy Forum Archive product-announcements

Many of you have been asking for the ability to upgrade your GO to the Cam-Lock Vise!
We’re redesigning the GO to include a Cam-Lock Vise, be more compact and easier to manufacture. We’ll be introducing the new version in two models, one with a Standard Vise and one with a new Cam-Lock Vise, which will be backwards compatible with your version of the Wicked Edge GO as an easy upgrade.
The new design will be coming out in 2021 but does not have a release date. We’re sold out of our remaining inventory for the Wicked Edge GO and are retooling for the new version! As we get closer to the launch of the new model, we’ll keep you in the loop with details about the new features and when the new model and upgrade kit will be available.

Sounds good, Clay! I started a thread about it on BFC (Blade Forums dot com).

I was able to grab one of the last Wicked Edge Go’s one of your seller’s had in stock (I couldn’t wait for the updated design, although I wanted to!) and, if I’m understanding this post correctly, I will be able to upgrade the model I have with the Cam-Lock Vise, right? (I’ve seen it in videos and looks like a great upgrade to an already pretty easy to use system). Thank you for your time! And I am loving the Wicked Edge Go! (I added the 800/1000 stones and looking to add Strops down the road)

Hey all! Is there any news on this?

I have a WE GO & I would absolutely love a cam vise for it!

5

Is there any new updates on release times for the Go version update in 2022?

Looking forward to this to add to my wicked edge go. I also have the wicked edge generation 3. Wicked edge go is to take on the road with me. Smaller footprint. I have the deluxe bag so I can take a extra set or two of stones.

Any news on this update and when in the year it might hit?

Those changes look like excellent, great to see advancements like this!

When can I throw money at you for the Wicked Edge GO WE60?

August 15th for the basic WE60 model that will have the ‘New’ standard vise and the ‘New’ standard angle slides. The other units will be coming later.

What are “the other units”? Are they based on WE60 or they are totally different?

Basically, the same. It just depends on which units have the standard vise or the lever-action vise, and the standard angle slide assemblies or the micro-adjusting lead screw slide assemblies.

I just sent my WE60 article to Clay for his approval. As soon as he approves it, I will upload it here on this thread.

Here’s another pre-release blog for the WE60 model. This one was published by the Australian Wicked Edge Dealer, Zanvak:

The official release date is Aug. 16th!

I wonder how they got it so quick, and if they had permission to show it? I figured that beta testers would get to show it first.

Here is my article on the New Wicked Edge WE60 Sharpener. I hope you guys like it!

Do you have an idea on when the other we60 with the other options will be available? Are we talking months?

Thanks very much!

Clay has said to look for the release of the other models this fall, possibly Nov.
