What if you take the knife apart and mount just the blade on the WEPS?


Wouldn't change anything as the stone mount would still hit the choil.

Try turning the stone so the corner of it gets in there. There may not be enough room, though....


Not enough room choil is in the way.

Well, short of putting choil to grinder or hand sharpening the area on a bench stone, what is it about that area that needs sharpening? It seems quite small. I know I'll face the same issue with my Spydies when my WEPS gets here, but aside from aesthetics what would someone cut with that small length?


Doesn't affect function but bugs me cause the rest of the knife has a beautiful mirror polish.

Looking for a little advice here.

I'm sharpening my Para 2 on the wicked edge w/ 34 degree inclusive angle. Seem to be having some difficulty at the heel. There is a very small area at the heel that the stones don't hit. I clamp at position 2 and line it up to B. any advice would be appreciated.

I too am a big fan of my DPX HEST. I have both gen I and gen II. Can't seem to leave my pocket. Still love my Strider SNG and CRK Sebenza 21 too. Those are my top three.

I am still waiting on my WE but was wondering after reading this post what the difference is in finish between the stones Tom was using and the leather strops that I ordered with my kit
Thanks

Hey Lucky,
Thanks for the phone call earlier. Here is a page showing the difference in grit size between all the stones offered: Stones and Strops Comparison You can click on the images I've uploaded to see a much closer view. There is a striking difference in the finish with the strops as compared to the fine grit waterstones, even in the coarser strops like the 14/10 micron set. I'll be uploading more images as soon as I can.


Hey Clay,

Awesome forum! What a great idea. So in your experience are you getting a better mirror polish w/ the strops than water stones 5/3.5 micron vs 3K/5K Chosera. Is it reasonable to go from the 5K water stones to the 3.5 strops?
