.. glass shop only charged $1 a stone for custom cut glass .. well, of course! that's the way to go,, Clay sells the Blank Paddles, I use my edge hot glue technique to fasten the glass shop plates. Besides mounting PSA or Spray 77 films, here is another tick you can try with them: 1.) apply (or not apply, your choice here) a small amount of sub micron pastes to the glass and use just a very few back strop finishing strops to straighten your edge. Works great!  |

Works great! well after waiting a few months for my WEPS I wasn't going to take my chance with a knife sharpening comp @ work with $1k up for grabs winner announced next month ps , pretty sure my email to wicked edge asking how fast they could ship me a blank paddle has yet to still even be answered .. so glad I opted for demolishing my rough paddles *edit* well the winners were announced today out of 160 entries after spending around 6 hrs per knife I took home the 1st prize for boning knife but did not even make the top 5 list for skinning knife which has got me annoyed that the WEPS could not go as low as I wanted as the knife came of my edge pro as the sharpest skinning knife I had ever done but I wanted perfect mirror finish that only the WEPS was able to do ChristopherStaples wrote: just thought I would follow up on this I won 1x knife sharpness test for boning knife I made my first angle @ 6 deg using edge pro ( knife was pretty rubbish I could see it falling apart at this angle assuming the others lost by having angle to low ) then applied my primary edge using WEPS which was anywhere between 15 ~ 18 deg as different stones / material seemed to touch either the back or front of the edge so I had to keep changing the Angles so the edge was polished went to 3.5 microns paste on glass with bare leather lightly touching it up before removing from vice I lost the skinning knife assuming because everyone used extremely low angles as they were all hollow ground apart from mine I used the same double edge method @ 6 deg in the edge pro it even held the edge nicely and was extremely hair withering but decided to apply the final edge in the WEPS ( bad decision as the WEPS can only go to 15 deg ) and the comp was for least resistance and not durability I am still wanting data and pretty annoyed that the skinning knife did not even place in the top 5 with mirror finishes |
