Know a couple of people up in that area but never actually been there, And I am from the Mattoon area about an hour south of Champaign on I-57

Don't hate me because of my corrupt state.
Always been into knife sharpening a little found the wicked edge system knew I had to buy it save up some pennies and got it Shortly after the start of the new year (2013)
I Have Sharpened about Twenty Knives still have lots to learn from the Wicked Edge hoping the Forum will help with that and while doing so make a couple of dollars of this thing as well.

From Central Illinois as well
