@spencerwright4489 5 лет назад

I got a bunch of the plastic cylinders from the inside of a roll of receipt paper. You can cut them down to different sizes and slide them down over the guide rods. Creates an effective stop that keeps the stones from dropping of the edge.

I have one...Love it...Buy once cry once it's worth every penny and the company is great to deal with...

@CrashingCarbide 5 лет назад

I bought a WE off of your recommendation 2 years ago. I still use it regularly and find it worth the money. I don’t sharpen every knife with it. But the folders I make all get a wicked edge.

@Simplelittlelife 5 лет назад

Right on 👍

@trenthumphreys9368 5 лет назад

What a TRUE statement. I own a wicked edge as well....slow yes...precise and effective..VERY. And I've scratched the bevels as well. Painter's tape is a life saver.

@Simplelittlelife 5 лет назад

Right on. That is a terrible feeling scratching the bevels isn’t it?

@trenthumphreys9368 5 лет назад

Yes especially on the surprise kitchen knife for my wife...with a 2000 grit mirror finish 😢

@MannyDelaCruzBOOM4U 3 года назад

I bought this system about 15ish? years ago, and I’ve never regretted it. It cost me a fortune at the time, and my mounting plate is made of black granite. I also have that leather strops that came with it, and they operate in the same way as the stones. Great system.

@orenmordechay4635 5 лет назад

My name is Oren and i'm from Israel I'm an avid hunter looked for a knife sharpener for my hunting knives as well as butchering & kitchen knives Most of my collection are made by bark river knives & two randall made large bowie knives.. I’ve watched your videos many times and really liked your explanation.. just ordered the wicked edge 130 with the aluminum base & extra 800 - 1000 diamond stone & 1200/1600 ceramic stones & 3.5/5 micron stropes & 1/4” jaws and angle cube.. The package costs a lot but I hope it will do the job..

@ToddEPatterson-TLP 2 года назад

Jeremy, I too have been in the Knife and Tool world for over 30 years. I did find one portable system that I got after my first Lansky Sharpener 35 years ago. Two folks, who worked for Lanky in college, wanted him to implement a few changes. He said "No Interest, mine works fine and my customer base is established". They got the blessing to go out on their own and make the GATCO knife sharpener. Still no where close to the quality of this unit but they did, Double the width of the stone (To about the size of what your using), they did build a much longer Guide Rod into a 'Alignment Barrel' in the stone (no more Switching Rods). They did add an Easy Finger Grip on top of the stones, and they do offer a complete Dimond Set with a Ceramic Polish Stone. I think they have retired now but it allowed me to sharpen Knives 4 to 5 times faster in the field, fits under your seat! Thanks for the video, I will check out some more right now!

@willey28 5 лет назад

I have both the Lansky and the Wicked Edge. Comparing the two is like saying an airsoft AR-15 is the same as a SCAR-17. I have scratched both my bevels and flats using the wicked edge. I’m going to wrap those clamps in leather and see if that prevents the scratching.

@Simplelittlelife 5 лет назад

Hahaha! Oh yeah, that is a great idea! 👍

@ShelleyRaskin 5 лет назад

Hey man, I too have a we and had a lansky, still have the we, not the lansky... I make Knives part time and also have a sharpening service, I use a variety of tools, the we is slow but it works, I have also found that other methods to reduce the majority of the steel and then the we to do the final work, as long as you match the bevels with the angle cube, works well and can cut down the time dramatically (tormek and we), of course this works because I can justify it as a business expense, for the average person wanting a sharp edge it’s not economical. I have also found that the more I used the we the better I got at sharpening on a 2 x 72 grinder, however it leaves more of a toothy edge that the polished we edge. All the best. Shelley

@spiderdavis3296 2 года назад

I have an older model that has a different lock down system. It does not have the bar like the the one in the video.The newer system is a big improvement.I like to sharpen free hand but I the W E does a much better job for me.Thanks for posting.The price is much higher than when I bought mine.

@NuManXplore 5 лет назад

@jamesbarisitz4794 5 лет назад

Glad to hear you are exploring other sharpening methods besides the Wicked Edge Gin Mill. I've switched to Japanese water stones and diamond plates and have had the fastest, best results ever. The learning curve wasn't as scary as I made it out to be in my mind. It's all about picking an angle and keeping it throughout the sharpening session. Pretty much comes down to muscle memory and paying attention. 😃

@alexanderkempf9828 Год назад

How do you know what angle you're sharpening it at if it's just with feeling?

@robertmycroft8268 3 года назад

Distance does not change an angle. The rake of a home from soffit to ridgeline remains 30 degrees whether it is on a mansion or dollhouse. I believe we learned this during our freshman year of high school?

@JohnDoeEagle1 3 года назад

The belt grinder might be faster for the first sharpening of folders but repeated use will prematurely wear your knives down to nubs. They are more suited for large fixed blade knives that take forever to get sharp on any kind of stone system. For stone systems there are only two and the others fall a longways behind. The Wicked Edge and Spyderco Sharpmaker are the two best ones by far. Even if you get good on a belt grinder your bevels and angles won't be as precise as a gauged and fixed angle system. Even brand new higher end production knives aren't perfect from the belt grinder sharpening system. The Wicked Edge and Spyderco will be perfect every single time.

@timleon277 5 лет назад

I noticed you have not used a carabiner to hang your drill yet 😁 I have the wicked edge Go. It works great. $150. Could not afford the others. It works just like the others. Great job.

@billbaggins 5 лет назад

looked at these and quite a few others.. decided to spend a bit extra and got the Tormek T4. excellent machine. Triton used to have a similar but cheaper version, worth looking into for all you Muricans, Triton was originally an Aussie company but found a bigger market in the states and left us behind.. dont get me started on the reasons for that

@aaronmconie534 5 лет назад

I love my wicked edge go. I take it with me every time I work away to touch up my work knives and keep them razor sharp. Highly recommend this system especially the we go.

Btw. You can buy drill bit depth collars if you wanted to use them on the arms and pick up some nylon bolts.

For a knife maker, you'll make back your $500 over a reasonable amount of time, but for the average person, not so much. I started sending your video to my son, the hunter, but decided he does well enough without that unnecessary expense...it's just not for everyone...life will go on as has been. Thanks for the video.

@simonhopkins3867 5 лет назад

It's a specialised tool it only dose 1 thing which it does well. However I look at it and think what am I paying for? A brand and hopefully some decent quality diamond stones!

@MrMarsBlades 5 лет назад

Will put a wicked edge on the wish list, thanks Jezza

@bigweatherby 5 лет назад

Try using a few rubber washers that you use on kydex. Slide them down the rod and stack them just high enough that the stone will not drop onto your bevel. They fit a little tight but I use them and you can adjust the height of the stack for different blade widths really easy. Never scratch your knife again.

@johnwilliams9298 5 лет назад

I returned my Lansky sharpener that you refer to in this video. But I will say that I use my knife a lot, so it really isn't worth my time to use the Wicked Edge either. I bought the Lansky pocket sharpener and it's so simple and easy to use to maintain a good cutting edge I would be sorely hard pressed to buy the Wicked Edge.... Having said that, I don't make knives or mass produce knives. And your knives look amazing! Good video!

@GeoffreyHuber 5 лет назад

I ended up going to down the route of Japanese sharpening stones. Naniwa Chosera stones but it ended up costing more but I don't regret it. I'm good for life with these stones.

@EvenTheDogAgrees 5 лет назад

Respect. I tried stones a few times, but I have a very hard time maintaining a consistent angle. Especially since I'm moving the knife away from me or towards me, and need to maintain that exact angle over so many iterations. I'm sure it'll come with practice, but since I happen to be good with the belt grinder, I never bothered. But still, it's a skill worthy of admiration.

@Soupcan13 5 лет назад

Nice to see that it holds up over time. Tedious but worth it for that edge. I really liked the idea you had about the limiter rings. Maybe a clap down system instead of set screws. No marred up shaft

@15569903 5 лет назад

I had a WE a few years ago, then I tried my friend Edge Pro Apex...then I never wanted to use the WE ever again. I sold it on eBay for close to what I paid and used half the money to buy the Edge Pro. Its quicker, easier to use, and I got much sharper knifes then I ever did on the WE. If you want a great sharpener but don’t want to spend a fortune go Edge Pro.

@mohamedzarif4473 4 года назад

yes knife edge angle stays constant, this is because sharpening stones move in a circular 2d FLAT PLANE (keyword), yes , angle between moving 1d rod and vertical 2d plane knife body changes, but the rod is not perpendicular to 1dimensional straight knife edge, which acts as the 1d line of intersection between 2 2d flat planes, the angle between any 2 2d flat plans will always stay constant, it's important to keep tract of what angle changes (or not) in what axis , , please correct if i made mistake

@johnrobertson8352 3 года назад

Jeremy, thanks for sharing your hard-won info. Question: How do you use the Wicked Edge to sharpen recurved blades?

@amoledor 4 года назад

So what's the difference in angle on the curved portion of the blade?

@FlawedSociety 5 лет назад

Outstanding review! Thanks. I would love to get a Wicked Edge but not for $500. But if I win the lottery you know what I'm getting.

@chrisjeffrey5404 3 года назад

Thanks for the information! I am considering options and want to know if this works well with small pocket knife blades too like small Case trappers etc. I was considering the edge pro but I have concerns with the small blade attachment and have heard concerns with this system too. Is the attachment worth it and does it work well for small knives?

@lachy1709 5 лет назад

Wanted one since your first video, I’m horrible on stones and know it’s just a matter of practice, but I just do skandi grinds now and get nice edges like that

@Simplelittlelife 5 лет назад

Right on. Hahaha. It's all part of it. I just find it funny when people take so much time (the email was several paragraphs) explaining how horribly wrong I was and that I shouldn't give up on math. 😆

@TrojanHorse1959 5 лет назад

Great video, thanks! Like a lot of people, I own a Lansky, well two of them to be exact. I bought two because I got the diamond stone version first, then I found out that the diamond stones just do not last very long, so I bought one with the regular stones when I found them on sale. I've been pretty happy with the regular stone version so far. I'd love to have a Wicked Edge sharpener, but they are so overpriced IMO that I just won't even consider buying one. The sharpener that I'd really love to have is the TSPROF Sharpener from Russia. Yes it is expensive too, BUT you get a lot more for your money. All that being said, I will just stick with my Lansky sharpeners, I can get my knives sharp enough to shave with, with them and that's sharp enough for me.

@scarter176 4 года назад

This is a great video about sharpeners ! I’m on the Ken Onion right now (first Machine) and am on the learning curve for it. Fairly simple but need time with it.

@moto-fl3rd 2 года назад

How's the ken onion working out? I'm thinking of getting one. I have the paper wheels mounted on a bench grinder with buffing compound on one and a fine jewelers grit on the other. Works pretty good but if you want to use grinding wheels you have to swap them out.

@rozhy2k 5 лет назад

Too bad you didn't give a go to the TSPROF sharpener. I own one and it is a very versatile and accurate sharpener. The best thing about it is that you can stuff pretty much any stone in it. Hair splitting sharpness (I mean literally) on a knife is a common thing for me now. And yes, stock stones are crap and even though you could still get same hairsplitting sharpness with them, you do need to get something else.

@fluxbe2737 5 лет назад

I wish you could review the tormek t8. I've recently purchased one and would like to know what a established knife maker thinks of it. Seems to me that there are a bunch of oversights in its development.

@GroovesAndLands 5 лет назад

These sharpeners do a great job, but it's always a big project to get it out, set it up and go through the process. I've found the bench grinder/MDF wheel is way more convenient. I have a $100 (new) 6" Dewalt bench grinder outfitted with $30 paper wheels, that permanently lives in a kitchen cabinet. Whenever a blade needs a touchup I can pull the grinder out, plug it in, touch up a couple edges and put the grinder away....all in less than 2 minutes. It's just way more convenient.

@moto-fl3rd 2 года назад

I've got a set of the paper wheels they work pretty good but if I need to grind something I got to swap the wheels out. Plus a rule of thumb is to not keep uni-taskers in the kitchen.

@kaskristensen 5 лет назад

@kevinfetner7983 4 года назад

I would bet Clay started with the Lansky System design principle and took it to another level. Pitted against an older Lansky system and someone that knows how to use it well, the actually cutting and durability results it would be very, very close. The difference in price thus makes the choice a no-brainer. Still...if you have the money and want the 'ultimate' knife sharpening system........

@msblades5382 5 лет назад

I love my WE 130 . I would buy one again after watching your review. Thanks... Martin

@BobMiller90 5 лет назад

Hi Jeremy, great video and agree that the WE works really well. I took the plunge about a year ago and haven't regretted it. One question - have you ever replaced the 'stones'? I had a situation where my 600 grit stones rubbed against each other (transporting in a box) and it seems like they are now 2000 grit. Stones (over here in the UK) are about £60 a set.

@michaelsteele7746 4 года назад

Do you prefer Wicked Edge or K03? Please tell why you prefer one over the other. Thanks

@EdgeMasterPro 3 года назад

I brought a gen 1. Both locking bolts stripped our, one screw in the vice jaws snapped. The diamond stones where binned wore quickly for expensive chosera stones that all cracked and they cost more than wicked edge. One clamp only not great for chief knives due to blade flex. If your reviewing this after two years you should at least explain the cone of sharpening for the curved tip of the blade especially if you use larger knives as the cone angle is shallow for wicked edge due to short length of the arm back edge pro long arm long arch and radius better for big knives.

@guitardzan5641 5 лет назад

$575 ! $575 !! Wicked is right! Hey Wicked, send me one of your systems and let me try it out for a couple years...............(didn't think so....)

@GetMeThere1 3 года назад

The simple fact is that if you are scratching the entire bevel and the width of the secondary bevel is the same all along the edge (and the blade thickness just beyond the bevel is the same all along the edge, which it invariably is), then the bevel angle is the same along the edge. Besides, if the bevel angle DID change (consistently) by a couple of degrees along the edge -- it wouldn't matter anyhow. If you're making a true burr you are making a true apex, and if you're making a true apex you're making a sharp edge.

@EvenTheDogAgrees 5 лет назад

8:44 - I don't think you're going to have to adjust the things once set; it's not like you're ever going to sharpen knives that differ so much in blade size that a setting that works for one is unusable for another. But if you don't feel like marring your rods, just use some tubing as a sleeve, resting it against the pivot rather than screwing it down. You could cut a few to different lengths to accommodate your different blades, if you find one size doesn't fit all after all.

@Prouderlib 4 года назад

3:34 “I use this less and less”, I’m not sure if this is so much a review on how this has held up over the last couple of years. Would of been nice to hear about the wear after “using” the system on a regular basis, you know if it is still worth the expense after 2 years of consistent use? Just a thought.

@joshuawarner5274 4 года назад

I'm wondering if he is mentioning using this less and less to put a "New" edge on a blank blade? But what about repeating a Re-sharpening? Quick and easy? Kitchen knives? Personal knives?

@Blaze_1961 4 года назад

i'm curious you said the angle is the same as long as the blade isn't curved. You sharpened the knife with a curve and didn't talk about the angle.

Exactly. The diamonds come loose and fall off if you abuse those things. Don't put pressure on it, or very very light pressure, or you'll hasten this process.

@griffithshandmade-knives 5 лет назад

Jeremy, let me know if you have any thoughts on this, if you have time. I sharpened a knife on my grinder yesterday (first time) belt running backwards. The cutting edge was 25 degrees on top of a 20 degree relief bevel, the main bevel is hollow-ground. The knife was getting hung up on regular A4 lined paper, and yet it shaved hair off my arm and was also able to lacerate deep into my finger! I give up sometimes! Sharpening has to be one of the more frustrating steps for me, because by this point it’s not the same as a warp or a failed heat-treatment, the knife is done 😡. I may get a wicked edge, but man, 💰 💰 💰.

Hi Jeremy,. Regarding your idea for set screws on the shafts, maybe a tight fitting rubber o ring would be enough on the shafts?

@EvenTheDogAgrees 5 лет назад

Just sleeve a piece of brass tube over it. I doubt you'd need different lengths to begin with, but even if you do, cutting up a few different length tubes ain't too much of a hassle. The tube would slide over the rod and rest against the bolt on the pivot end. No screwing stuff to your rod, no risk of marring.

The wicked edge isn't bad, but it's not worth the price. I spent a little over 1500 on my wicked edge (pro pack 3, then a few different strops and chosera stones) and it was pretty nice. I got the TSprof soon after and ended up liking it more than the Wicked Edge. For quite a few reasons. The TSprof can handle larger blades, has a wider variety of clamp options, and because it uses the same size stones as the edge pro, it has a ton of stone and strop options that just aren't available on the wicked edge. Nowadays, I use the Edge Pro Professional, Edge Pro Apex, and TSprof. I leave the Apex in my car in case I need to sharpen something when not at home, the TSprof is used for most of my sharpening, and I keep the Edge Pro Professional around in case I need to sharpen something that doesn't like being clamped. Because the edge pro and tsprof both use 1x6 stones, I didn't mind shelling out for the full range. I have 2 sets of the standard edge pro stones, a set of choseras, a set of shapton glass stones, and all of the edge pro diamond matrix stones (the matrix stones are absolutely amazing). If you were gonna buy the Wicked Edge, I urge you to look at the tsprof instead. The full K03 kit is only $840 and you can use whatever stones you want.

How is this compared to a warthog sharpener?

Hey mate, what is the limit for blade length that this system can sharpen? I can some larger fix blades that i want to do some work on e.g. cold steel magnum tanto ii, i was wondering if there are such limits on the reach on this sharpening system

Do you have knives like the one you sharpened in this video for sale? I like it.

Nice sharpener, but like you said expensive. But your getting diamond sharpening stones to use.

I own a lansky type sharpener. I have never really liked it. That said, my only issues with this type is that the stones never seen long enough and I have the (unproven) idea in my head that a perfectly flat bevel is inferior to a convex bevel (rounded) . I like to think that I get a more rounded blade edge on regular flat Stone ( I like diamonds) sharper. I have yet to invest in a high quality sharpening system. BTW, how do you think this unit would perform on large kitchen knives? Is there a length limit?
