I am one happy guy. This system really puts a wicked edge on knives. I have sharpened about 10 knives so far and they are all hair shaving sharp. I did the push test with them through a phone book and had to stop pushing because I reached the bottom (500 pages). I went through the progression from 100 grit to the 3.5 strops. I have notice after 10 knives the mirror finish is getting better. I put a miro bevel on two knives and those have the best mirror finish because I hit the edges twice with the 5 and 3.5 strops.

I going around my house looking for more knives. This weekend the kitchen knives with get the WE treatment. I have not sharpened them since I bought them.

Awesome!!

Don't forget adding your knives to the Knife Database!!! (There's prizes too!)

Have fun! Oh wait, you already are!

That's the danger of the WEPS! I'm bugging Clay for either an IV drip or some serious counseling about the habit!

As you do even more knives (or redo those already done about 100 times each!) your technique and speed will improve to an artist's level of perfection on an edge!

Not to mention the stones will wear in to give a better and better polish!

Watch out on your way down the rabbit hole...

Glad to hear you're having fun. Since the internet has come around I used to constantly throw out phone books to reduce clutter. Now I can't get hold of enough of them for test cuts.
