I love where this thread has gone! Reading all of these stories has been fun.

I feel like I am babying my thumb, and maybe I am, but I want it to heal as fast as it can!

I know all of you know this absolute common sense thing, but please be careful when you are handling knives.

I sharpened a Kershaw with steel similar to Aus-8 which sharpens very well on the Wicked edge and is razor sharp. While I was flipping it out and closing it, I was talking to someone and NOT paying attention to the knife like I should have been. This was the one time I didn't prefer a razor sharp knife, and in fact I was wishing it was a very dull knife.

Moral of the story and why I say especially be careful. I cut the tip of my thumb next to the nail and straight across, but because of where it is cut, I can't sharpen or use many knives right now. I tend to be favoring my spring-assists and I am having to use my left hand which is a very "dumb" hand. Haha

Just a friendly reminder to please be careful so that you can continue sharpening your knives with the Wicked edge. Because just having to look at it is no bueno.

The Wicked Edge doesn't disappoint in large, heavy use, survival knives either.
This was done using only what comes in the Pro-Pack 1 kit. It may not have a technical .025 micron mirror finish, but "it got a purdy shine t' it."

More importantly, how do they work?



They work beautifully! I just thought it was interesting to see, but the tape identifiers worried me, however they are nicely cut, not like a knock off at all, but more like the effects of so much demand on an awesome set of stones! They really are the icing on the cake!

I bought a set of the 800/1000 grit diamond stones, and they are not the blue color like I thought they should be. Instead the 800 grit side is black and the 1000 grit side is red. I was wondering why this is. On the stones themselves where they are labeled with what grit they are appears to be a piece of electrical tape very well fit onto the stone with the label printed onto the tape.
