@@malcolmbeckett9802 Hi, in the video Clay showed how he checked for center or apex, a few strokes on one side formed a bure on the other, the blade edge is rolling the metal to that side, then he repeated on the other side the process, the bure formed on the other side. At that point you know your pushing the apex edge. Then working it side to side keeps it on center. The black marker on the edge also confirms it as the diamonds completely remove the markers color so the angle is true. It a great system, had mine over ten years, have been able to upgrade my system, change the blade clamp and rods.

Really nice video!!

Hey thanks for the video. Was interesting to see a WE guy using push strokes.

Once you get the hang of it - which doesn't take very long - the Wicked Edge system will put a phenomenally sharp edge on your knife. Once you've found the right angle, resharpening takes very little time. Buy an angleometer too to get the precise angle for your knife. If you have knives that are worth a damn, go with Wicked Edge. Pricey and worth it.

After lots of practice i can get really good polished mirror edges with a lansky but im sure the WE would be so much easier to use.

2 years later how many bought and what do you think?

Does Wicked Edge have an attachment to sharpen scissors?

It seems that if the knife is not perfectly vertical in the vise there will be angle differences from side to side instead of factory edge being the cause. The knife the in the demonstration seems to not be perfectly vertical. Is there a vertical alignment tool that I missed?

This guy looks like Sal Governale from Howard Stern Show

Does that thing sharpen scissors, axes, planer blades, tiny knives, pruning shears, etc...?

Where do the shavings go?

how can he be 100% sure that the knife is pefectly vertical and not leaning to one side or the other and causing the discrepancy?

I see you’re going down and forward with stones. Is there a difference if you wanted to go up and forward?

Typically you should wipe the blade between stones so you don’t cross contaminate. Learned that from watching the KME Sharpening System.

When he states the angles are off, look at the angle of the knife in the holder. It is for sure leaning to one side

I have a system of varying stones that work just fine, but this Wicked Edge Pro model blows it out of the water completely. Maybe it's time to upgrade.

I think it's hard to beat the consistency that comes from the controlled angle of the Wicked Edge. It's so precise and precision machined that you get that super polished edge and mirror perfect.

Is there any need to take precautions to cover the action with tape so metal shavings don’t get in there?

Many get a soft rubber ball, or some bicycle tire tube and cut it to shape to protect the metal bearing at the end of the stone arm. Good observation on your part. For the cost of the sharpener you would think that they would have something like that in the kit. If they do into the future they will probably charge about 60 bucks for it. Have a good one.

Bought the WE 100 and learned how to use it properly. It works phenomenally well. When I sharpen the kitchen knives, I put a Post-It next to the knife holder to warn my wife. Crazy sharp, but peels a ripe peach perfectly.

My wife got mad because she cut a silicone spatula with a freshly sharpened knife off a WE.

🤔If he didn’t re-profile the edge to a single matching angle on both sides could he have sharpened this knife two handed using two individual profile angles? I noticed when talking about each of the angles he altered the setting gauge to achieve the different angles on the selector. Does the setting gauge work independently left and right or are they set as equal adjustment all the time?

At 5:40 it does appear to lean to the left a little, but definitely not enough to account for the huge range of angles between the sides.

I’ve owned the wicked edge for several years now. I’ve been sharpening large 8-10 inch full sized kitchen knives about every 2 months for my kitchen. It’s really easy and the diamond stones still have held up fine. My other wet stones eventually become concave and you gotta keep flattening them out but not with the wicked esge

I don't understand. You go from 24 and 16dps to 20dps. From 24 to 20 is not a problem. That's just removing metal. But from 16 to 20dps is a problem. You still end up with uneven bevel? Making a wider bevel smaller means removing a lot of metal?

What if you have a knife that is v shaped... Thick spine very thin blade?

I thought you were supposed to clean off the blade, in between stones, 10:31 so you don’t contaminate the next stone you use.

Take a look at the lanksy best for a budget

Just bought the WE 130, and love it. I really don't care about the cost if it sharpens to a quality edge and this it does, but there are a couple of points I would like to make as a pro knife sharpener. 1. It does cost far too much, end of story. 2. I don't agree that "chasing the burr" is good for the knife and certainly not necessary. Pushing a burr from one side to the other is just taking far too much metal off the blade and when you are dealing with a $1000 blade it is over kill. 3. The stones up to 1000 grit which came with the kit are all far too course so I rarely use them unless I want to do a hefty re profile. 4. I never chase the burr by sharpening up to the leading edge. To keep a knife with a sharp edge and plenty of metal always sharpen with strokes starting from the leading edge and traveling downward towards the base. I noticed the guy do the with the finer grits which was good to see. Great video none the less.

@2fast2block

My cousin has the pro WE and he also bought just about every stone they have, he's got the money. He does upward strokes and WE told him the downward makes it sharper but it is so slight to really make a difference. I've seen a test done (if it was truly accurate) that proved this. Both were sharp but the downward stroke was a bit sharper. About the burr chasing, I don't know how you can center a blade by not doing that. Taking off more metal to achieve that is no big deal to me considering just how little of the metal it really is, but that's me and if you're getting what you like on your blades, that's great. I was close to ordering the basic WE but for what I was looking for in sharpening, I ended up with the KME kit for $225. I'm very pleased with it. Other similar sharpeners are cheaper and more expensive. To me, all are good for the money and it depends how much a person wants to spend to have sharp knives. The KME that's similar in sharpening as the WE, finally has given me consistent edges throughout and has given me sharper blades than I could achieve before.
