I posted this in the welcome mat earlier in error. Can the WEPS sharpen a Ceramic knife? Can clamping shatter the blade? Any help is appreciated.

I use the paperstone base, wash it occasionally and its heavy enough to be stable. My case of stones prolly weighs more than the base!!

The angle cube is a great addition. The height of the blade edge and thickness of the blade can vary where the right side paddle lines up as the left side is in a fixed position. Using the angle cube (~$25 amazon)you can ensure precise matching angles and repeatability. I keep a log for all my private knives of hole location, lineup on the guide, angle, azmith if any etc. Talk about OCD....

Wow, how did you get those cool colored lines in the blade edge?!? Beautiful job...

Another question.... Received a wavy "Cris" (-10sp) type stilletto from a client today. I have the curved stones but this blade has no edge whatsoever. Would it destroy the mid grit curved stones attaining an edge? Do I just utilize the edge of the existing 100/200 and go from there to put an edge on this?

Good suggestion Clay. Yes, I clamp it tight. Kung fu grip tight most of the time. It marred the coating on a cold steel blade and a satin finished Al Mar Hawk. Will keep vigilent and advise. Thanks for a great product and support.

I have had the clamp marr the surface of the knife. I put blue painters tape on it but that doesnt last long and the knife can move easily. Does anyone else have a suggestion, or what do you use?
