Leo, you really should consider setting up a Wiki about the Wicked Edge (although a lot of it is general knife sharpening).

I'm envisioning a matrix that lists Make, Model, Steel, Angle (maybe could even have space for primary and secondary bevels), Depth Settings, Alignment Mark, just like in the instruction set, but expanded to included a little more info about the knife. I'll need to talk to our webmaster about the technical side of setting up the Wiki online, but the matrix itself should be pretty easy to do. |
