I've actually seen a demonstration of this thing by Clay and I have to say, it is absolutely everything they say it is and more. They sharpened my
pocket knife four months ago and I use it all the time. It is still sharper than any of my own knife sharpeners can get it.

Having had a chance to see and use the prototype sharpener a few months ago, I'm excited to have one ordered, and to see the "real thing" on the way.
The sharpener really does give a strong "shaving" edge. And it's intuitive and easy to use. Changing stones is a snap. As for sharpening, you can go
"to and fro", or "fro and to". (The video shows most everything except how to mount the knife - about as difficult as turning a screwdriver.)
Engineering is solid!

Razor sharp, (hair shaving) edges that are acquired quickly and conveniently with no hassle or mess!!! Best of all there is absolutely no learning
curve; you will achieve phenomenal results right out of the box!!! It is quick and convenient and there is no fuss or mess and it is very easy to
use. You do not need any practice or special skills to get a razor edge right out of the box. You are sharpening both sides of the blade at once so it
easily cuts the time in half of what it would take you with other sharpeners. You can change a diamond grit in the blink of an eye! One of the very
best features is that you can place a knife back into the sharpener in the exact same position each and every time, which is great for quick edge
touch ups. This is paramount when touching up your edge. You don’t have to start at square one with a coarse diamond grit each time you place
the blade in the sharpener. This is key to a long service life of the knife. The Wicked Edge allows you to maintain a razor edge while shaving off the
least amount of metal each time. Additionally, you are not limited by just a few blade angles as with other sharpeners, you have a wide range of 15 to
30 degrees. I now maintain a log with all my knifes and the specific information for each knife to be placed in the exact location on the sharpener
each and every time it is loaded. If any of this seems complicated, it is not, it is all intuitive. You will find yourself so pleased with the
results that you will be calling your friends to sharpen their knifes! Believe me, this is one fantastic sharpener! If you are serious about having
the sharpest edge possible on your knives then this is the sharpener you need to own! No more shipping your knifes back to the factory to get that
razor edge! As far as I am concerned, The Wicked Edge Team are the village wizards! I tip my hat to the designers of this sharpener, so simple, yet
highly functional and ultra effective! It is well made and sturdy, truly the last sharpening system I will ever have to or need to purchase. n

This is an excellent product! I have spent too many dollars to recount on sharpening tools over the years. This is the first product that creates a
consistent, razor-sharp edge on every knife I've set in the device. And it achieves results quickly. Wicked Edge has done its homework and designed a
great tool that is not encumbered by the shortcomings of nearly every tool I've encountered. Great job Wicked Edge! Thanks for making a product that
warrants me spending my hard-earned dollars on.

This is truly the greatest knife sharpener ever created. The design makes the best and longest lasting edge that I have ever seen. I have used several
different sharpeners with marginal success and marginal edges. Anyone can sharpen a razor edge on any knife in very little time. As a professional
hunting guild I had to carry four or five knifes before the wicked edge knife sharpener came into my life, now I carry one and can do several elk at a
time without stopping to reshape the edge. I love it. I have even sharpened all of my kitchen knives as well. Now I look for any excuse to touch up my
knives. The wicked edge knife sharpener makes sharpening a fun and quick job. I now enjoy sharpening knifes and demo the WEKS every chance I get.

A couple of days ago I set up my WE complete with marble base (very nice naccessory), and started sharpening some crusty old knives I found lying
naround. Aside from actually being able to cut an edge, the Zen of the nprocess is, well, fun! I can definitely see a pair of the super nasty ncoarse
stones in my future, esp for changing the angle on ss blades. nAny way, I'm sitting there, sharpening way totally in the zone, and my brain nstarts
filling up with "geez, it would be nice if" stuff, which I'm not ngoing to bore y'all with. I think you have hit the design/function vs price ncurve
right at moa. nThe only suggestion I would offer is an upgrade to the glue you use to hold nthe stones in their trays....sharpening away, had a stone
fall out. No nbiggie, no damage, just interrupted my meditation. A little Elmer's and I nwas back at it. If/when that fails, I'll upgrade my own glue.
nThat is my first impression of a fine product....I'm off to Mom's to make nher kitchen drawer a dangerous place and change up the edge on my Silver
nStag Damascus. nThanks for dreaming up this goofy thing that is an engineer's delight, works ngreat and is a work of art. Bert

of knives on other sharpeners and it seemed to be a chore. But now on the Wicked Edge its actually fun! Other sharpeners consumed so much time and the
stones either required oil or they wore out. This sharpener is with out a question the highest quality sharpener that I have ever used and not to

Hi Devin, We met this last weekend at the Del Mar San Diego Gun Show, I bought your wicked edge sharpening system after walking by and watching you
demonstrate the product. I have been using it now for all of three days and I already have the hang of it. I started on my knives to learn on then
went strait for my Wife's twin-man professional Henckels. Long story short, my wife is super pleased with how they turned out (translation: money well
spent according to the Boss!). The quality of the sharpener is second to none and after each use I am more pleased with it. As I have used other
clamp/vice type sharpening products in the past, I was a little bit concerned that the clamp might not hold the blade straight and in the same
position every time, but you guys nailed that one in spades- the WE clamp is so adjustable and versatile. I tried blades of varying thicknesses from
less than 1/8th inch thick to around a quarter inch thick with varying taper angles. Your clamp held them perfectly and snugly with no room for error.
I can't wait till you develop the chisel attachment. Thanks again, and God bless. nCapt Tom Brannan USMC

Clay; I have received the remaining stones and Strops for my Wicked Edge. This is the most amazing sharpener. I have had the same frustrations as you
describe in your opening statement. The Wicked Edge is the best sharpener I have ever used in my 50+ years of hunting and fishing. I will recommend
this sharpener to everyone I hunt and fish with. The main problem is that in camp I am spending all my time sharpening everyone else's knives. Well
it’s easy with Wicked edge and I enjoy watching My hunting partners face when the lick their arm and shave the hair off with ease. nThanks
again for the fool proof sharpener. nShaun M. Smith nLee, MA

Get this sharpener! I purchased the WE this past weekend at the Colorado Springs Gun Show (April 6 09). I have read books on knife sharpening, I have
diamond, ceramic and Arkansas stones of all grades of grit, I have all kinds of steels and other sharpening devices. At best I can get a decent edge
using these but they don't compare or come close to the razor edge the WE gives. The fine ceramic stones were not in stock but I plan to purchase
those when they become available. I was given the leather strops as part of the purchase. I would consider those essential to a fine edge and assume
the fine ceramic stones will become essential once I have them. The WE is a flawlessly designed and high quality product, It deserves "Invention of
the Year Award."

Unbelievable. I threw all my other sharpeners in the trash after sharpening my first knife with this. Up until now, with my considerable collection of
fine knives, I have been careful "using" some of my better knives due to that fact that I could never get anything close to a factory edge back on the
knife(I have always been somewhat challenged with sharpeing). Now, I can put a scalpel like edge on any knife. This thing is a work of art also, I
have it displayed out on my workbench because it looks so good! nJohn

If you can't sharpen your knife(s) with this sharpener, sharper than ever before, you need to get someone to reread the instructions to you. "Knife
Sharpening for Dummies" 101. Its that simple. I've owned most of em' and some of them are good, some not so good, but this one is a step above the
rest. Finally found the one I want to use all the time. Just a little practice is all you need. Thanks guys for making this little tool !!!

Halleluiah, the search is over. Finally a system to fulfill my quest for the perfect edge. Years have been spent and many systems have been bought.
Yet perfection was never attained until now. Wicked edge has perfected a system to put a razor sharp edge on most of my knives. The key is its
inherrent quality construction which allows the diamond stones to be applied at the precise angle on both sides of the blade. Furthermore, Wicked Edge
has eliminated user error with a system that insures consistancy by only a modicum of skill on behalf of the operator. I believe a certain amount of
skill is necessary, in that the left hand needs to replicate the movement of the right (for a right handed person) however this can quickly be learned
and is fun once the proper rythym is achieved. The one drawback with this system however would be its inability to sharpen serrated and concave
blades. So I guess I'll have to keep my Spyderco Sharpmaker. Overall though I'm extremely happy with the Wicked Edge Sharpener, so much so that I
order both the extra rough and fine stones to get an even sharper edge. Hey, that says it all in my opinion.

Wicked Edge Customer Service is superlative! All new, innovative products have glitches that get worked out with time. I had stripped one of the
adjusting screws on my sharpener - twice! you graciously replaced the part once and I stripped that one too. I was pretty convinced I was doing
something wrong since the device was otherwise excellent. I visited your booth at the Blade Show in Atlanta and mentioned the problem expecting to be
told that I was doing abusing the sharpener. Instead you opened up a new box and handed me upgraded replacement parts including new, improved rods!
Outstanding! I know it costs you something to support your product at that level but I trust that success will result from that kind of amazing
commitment to your customers. I placed an order for ceramic stones and leather strops today - just my way of saying thanks and expressing my
confidence in a well-supported product. Keep up the good work! If more businesses operated with your level of honor and integrity our country would
not be suffering some of our present maladies. Kudos!

One can never have too many knives and I for one love my collection. My frustration was the ability to get the perfect edge and sharpness. At the NRA
Convention in Phoenix I was very impressed with the Wicked Edge Sharpener I bought one on the spot and have ordered the additional accessories. After
they arrived, I got busy and I have to say that I am totally blown away at the quality and ease of putting that perfect edge on my knife. I took my
favorite knife that had a 25 degree edge and decided to change it to a 23 degree edge. At first I was ready to cry once I saw what the quick results
of the coarse stone did (which is the way it was designed)but in very short order progressing through the finer stones I achieved that perfect edge
and a mirror finish on the blade. I have nothing but positive things to say about this knife sharpener. The only thing that would make this better is
to have an IPO and go public as I would buy your stock.

Very nice sharpener, was able to put a razor sharp edge on every knife in my house the afternoon that I received it. The only drawbacks that I see at
this point are: 1) I'm unable to sharpen some of my smaller pocket knives (ie. Buck Deuce) because the top of the blade doesn't clear the top of the
clamp enough. 2) haven't found a way to hold a few blades that are only sharpened on one side--the clamp holds the blade at an angle. In these two
cases, I can't use it, but I hardly use those anyway, for the knives I actually use, this puts a very usable/repeatable edge on them quite quickly.

I am very happy with the Wicked Edge Sharpener, it is the best sharpener that I have. nI have tried many other sharpeners, the other two best
sharpeners I used to use was the Lansky and Tormek both had flaws for me. The Lansky had issues of not holding on to the blade and it would move
around and the bevel on both sides would not come out even. The Tormek which now sells for in the $500 neighborhood, would grind to high a bevel on
the tips of smaller knives. The Tormek messed up the bevel at the tip of a Chris Reeves small Sebenza knife I had to send it back to Chris to have it
fixed. n I also want to mention the customer service of Wicked Edge is excellent even after I have purchased the system and had it for awhile, I sent
e-mail requesting help and they have always answered my e-mails with helpful information. I would recommend this system to anyone who is looking for a
really good sharpener. I am a knife collector, and make knives, so I am always looking for the ultimate knife sharpening system. Being able to put a
razor sharp edge on a knife is very important to me.

For years I have tried to freehand sharpen my knives without allot of success. So I began reading about the art of knife sharpening on the internet
and suddenly realized there was an overload of information. Everyone had opinions about what was the best way to do the job. Since I have gotten to be
an senior citizen and my hands are a little shakey I decided on getting some sort of sharpening guide and purchased a Lansky standard diamond system.
Immediately realized that the principal was great, but there had to be a more user friendly device out there some where, Back to the internet I go and
narrow my choices to the Edge Pro Apex and the Wicked Edge system. About the time I was poised to make the purchase I happened upon a You Tube demo of
a highly dissatisfied Wicked Edge customer and was almost completely turned off to the Wicked Edge system. I called and talked to Clay Allison at
Wicked Edge and got his side of the story and decided to make the purchaseand I couldn't more pleased with the decision. The Wicked Edge system has
made a knife sharpener out of me and if it has done that for me it can do it for anyone. If you have been turned of by the You Tube slamming of the
Wicked Edge. Think about this, the guy has been offered his money back and still wants to keep the system. If it was as bad as he claims why would he
do that. I also find that the customer service and shipping is top notch at Wicked Edge. Put me down on the satisfied customer list and for sure I
have not been paid or coerced to make this statement.

Joe, I purchased the wicked edge mainly to get my D2 steel hunting knives sharp...a task I had trouble with previously. I started with the vise, red,
yellow, blue diamond files and a set of strops. The darn thing works so well, I bought a base and ceramics and well, I am out of stuff to buy.
Anecdotally, I skinned and boned three deer without sharpening my two knives (caping and large hunting). Not until about halfway through the last deer
did I start noticing my knives getting dull. Just touching hair with them, caused it to pop away freely. Cutting the skin around the ankles was very
easy to do and this is a task that can be a little difficult with a dull knife. I will have to adjust to using a knife this sharp. What a pleasure. So
many times I will purchase a product with hopes that it will work. So many times it doesn't work. I want you to tell your customers that this product
WORKS. It will quickly make their knives scalpel sharp. Once sharpened, a knife can be retuned very quickly with minimal metal removal. I haven't
tried the ceramics, but I would not be happy with the result without use of the strops after finishing with the purple stone. I haven't used smaller
than 10um media on mine and it only takes a few strokes to get the edge I desire. Todd

Awesome!! I have bought every possible sharpener on the market. Sharpmaker, Lansky deluxe diamond system, Apex edge pro. ect.... The Wicked edge hands
down beats them all. At least for me. I'm not a person with a lot of finesse when it comes to using my left hand. With this, the use of my non
dominate hand is limited and controlled. Set up is way easy and the learning curve is excellent! The other sharpeners are fine products but the wicked
edge is the one for me. Do yourself a favor and include the granite base. No lie, this is the best money I've ever spent on a sharpener.

Dear Clay, n nThe new arms are awesome. What a difference! Thank you for the arms and new vise. n nI sharpened a knife for a guide in Ohio, on 154

cut individual hairs on my arm. Last night, I collected all my previous sharpeners to give or throw away. n nI typically don't get this excited, but
dull knives and butchered sharpening jobs by "professionals" have been a frustration of mine for 26 years of hunting, and now that issue has been

Dear Clay, nI'm always the skeptic unless proven wrong--and this time I've been proven WRONG. I think I've owned every sharpening system out there,
Edge Pro, Tormek, Lansky, etc; but none of them have really grasped the engineering concept that you have to maintain a consistant edge on both sides
as you have. I know it is easy now to produce a quality edge on the average knife, so when I got mine the other day I decided to put it to the "real
test" of some of the type of knives I own, that heretofore, have been difficult to get a respectable edge on--consistently respectable edge. n nI
don't know if you are familiar with Talonite? A different steel that is not know for easy sharpening. The diamond stones (from anybody) will cut
Talonite, but the precise engineering of the knife holder and the dual adjustable cutting degrees of your product is what will set you above the rest!
I've sharpened my Talonite folder and developed a better edge than when it came new! Any BG42 grind will challenge a sharpening system, especially
when the factory grind was offset in the first place! No sweat with the Wicked Edge! Finally, I had purchased a damascus folder that for the life of
me I couldn't get a decent edge on. I gave up on it as an every day carry simply because I couldn't get it sharpened to what I thought it should be.
Once again no sweat with the Wicked Edge! n nOthers can comment on the price you charge but until they put this one in their shop, talk is cheap. I'm
a knife maker for over 20 years and always knew I could get a better edge on my hunting knives, but most was hit and miss. Now there is no miss! this
one is spot on target. Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door! Your biggest problem will be keeping sufficient stock on
hand. Congratulations! n nI've just ordered the last of the stones that you offer with this package and I am very happy with your product! Anyone who
has dealt with the myriad of sharpeners on the market can use yours and instantly see the time and added expense your team took to deliver a product
that will last. I am most impressed with the precise engineering. Feel free to post this if you chose on your testimonial page, as I am one happy
camper with your product. n nDan M nOverland Park, KS

Clay, I received my order Thursday thanks! I'm leaving for my fishing trip tomorrow but I just had to take a moment to write you. I tried the Wicked
Edge on my lockblade and I can finally say for the FIRST time in my life that I have truly sharpened a knife. Shaving sharp is an understatement. When
I tested the edge, the hair on my arm just fell away. My wife is laughing at me because I don't have any hair left on my arms to test with; think I'll
try shaving the dog next. I'm an avid outdoorsman and I have sharpened my fair share of knives. I've owned all kinds of sharpeners and have NEVER
achieved an edge that even comes close to what I was able to do with the Wicked Edge. Operator error is virtually removed from the process; my 11-year
old sharpened his small bait knife and produced the same 'wicked' result as me. He was upset with me because I insisted on dulling the edge before
giving it back to him. You have designed and built one fine piece of equipment, I couldn't be more satisfied.

This review comes after over a year of use during which I have used my Wicked Edge Sharpener to set edge angles on 2 Swamp Rat Waki swords, 2 Busse
NMSFNOs, 2 Busse SAQs, 1 Busse SAR5, plus 4 other Bussekins, and a number of custom made and production hard use knives, such as Strider and Landi,
and 9x 154CM fighters. Setting an edge angle takes a great deal of work when you have uneven factory edges on HARD - hard use knives that vary. Each
Waki took around 2 days of work to get to a 25 degrees shaving sharp even edge. Never in that time did the Wicked Edge not perform as advertised. Now
it takes me less than 5 mins in total to maintain each of my blades, keeping them sharp and ready. The best part is that this outstanding performance
comes with a warranty that matches my knives, and with a level of customer service and support that is simply outstanding.

My sharpener arrived yesterday, and to say I was excited is an understatement. After years of inability on my part to get a truly sharp edge on my
knives, that all changed after about 6 minutes of use with this rig. I put my prize Fallkniven PXL folder in the vise and closely followed Clay's
excellent instructions.The results were amazing...this blade made of very hard (Rockwell 62)laminated 3G powder steel came out hair-popping sharp
after the final lapping with the leather hones.It sliced paper and para cord with an aplomb that was truly satisfying. At last, a sharpener that does
everything advertised and does it in spades. Awesome! The term scary sharp now has new meaning to me! nMy total experience with the Wicked Edge from
start to finish has been extremely positive. As if it isn't enough that the shapener itself is wonderful, the service rendered by Clay is excellent
and way beyond what one has come to expect in this day and age. Wonderful service Clay and a truly wonderful tool you and your partner have given to
all of us frustrated knife owners! Frustrations be gone! nNow on to the rest of my knives. More later! nWith many thanks, nLeo

and I was shame-faced to find I had broken almost every instruction given by Clay. nFirst I over-tightened the top screw which led to the knife not
holding its position it slipped after the first few strokes. Once I got that fixed, I went on not reading the instructions and did not raise a burr
properly...I didn't check with a cotton swab to see if the burr was there neither on the right nor the left side of the bevel. Then to top off my
carelessness, I had not set the angle adjusting screw tightly into the detente dimple at the 20 degree mark and so I was merrily stroking the blade
while the right hand angled rod was moving freely at various positions. I couldn't have been more careless. nI went back and did the whole thing over
again and this time followed the instructions to the letter...a piece of cake and another smooth, slicing blade, especially after using the leather
strops and Diamond Paste. Excellent stuff. Thanks again Clay! Leo July 24 2010 Ontario, Canada

Clay, n Thanks so much. I finally got my sharpener from ordering it at the blade show. It's everything I thought it would be and more. I've been a
Lansky user for over 25 years. The Wicked Edge Sharpener is the ULTIMATE in knife sharpening. n I can't say enough about the versatility and adjust
ability of your (my) Sharpener. I was really excited to get the WEPS, but after using it the first day, I'm more impressed than I ever thought I would
be. The WEPS trues up every bevel and tip to perfection! Unbelievable! I new you had a great product when I saw it and talked to you at the Blade
Show, but it has far exceeded all of my expectations. n Thanks Again, now I will make sure I have the rest of your accessories. Please make a travel
case to hold everything, as I need to take it everywhere I go.

I have a bag of quality knives, in particular sevaral hard steel Knives of Alaska and my vintage case hardened Buck Pathfinder, circa 1968. These old
Bucks were represented by the company with a logo showing a hammer punching them through bolts of steel (Buck abandoned the logo with the
modernization and softer steel). These hard Bucks can be sharpended but usually wore down poor stones, only hard Arkansas with hours of precision
honing would sharpen these. I am skilled and practiced at knife sharpening with the old Buck Hone Master and Arkansas stones. It takes a steady hand
and constant angle. My knives were always razor sharp. Now they are sharper, all in one afternoon. nThis machine is incredible the impossible to
sharpen Buck sharpened up in 15 minutes at 18 degrees with the extra stones and strops, The hair did not shave off me, it rolled and peeled off my
hair shins as if it melted. Paper peeled off the blade with no resistance at all, no drag, not even the slightest. nI always wear two steel/kevlar
gloves,even in the field this knife is sharper than surgical scapels right now. Never use a knive this sharp without protecting yourself against a
slip. nWhen I clean fish it often enough is 50 or so 4-5#, It takes 5 or 6 different knives, each for a particular cut and job. nI am not the average
knife user and appreciate the personal advice and tutoring and recommended stones and process, thank you, Clay. nThe world, in my view, has been
waiting 42 years for this device. $400 well spent, order #613.

Great system, but extremely disspointed in the service of this company. After multiple promises to replace the angle bar that constantly slips, with a
new design, still nothing. I am sure it works as advertised, I just cant maintain an angle with in inferior product.

Clay Allison has truly made the most effective knife sharpener on the market. The Wicked Edge is so ahead of it's time, that we could not even begin
to critic it's design. All Wicked Edge products, from the 50 grit to the 1600 Grit Ceramic stones are so easy to use that it will make you want to
sharpen you letter opener! This product is a must have for any U.S. Military member whether you are a Ground Pounding GRUNT or a High Flying Recon
Extraordinaire, this product will have you back in the fight in no time! This product is therapeutic; not like yoga therapeutic, but like kicking down
doors and putting that hostile threat on the ground, therapeutic. The first time you get that Mirror finish with your Ceramic stones and Leather
Strops you will be hooked for life. All you will be focused on is the smooth, sweet sound of beveled perfection. BUY ONE, and you can now bring your
old knives back to life! LCPL. C. Guther USMC!

I just sharpened my first knife blade to 10 micron using the Wicked Edge kit. Suffice to say I now have the sharpest knife I have ever had; in ten
minutes work; the very first try. If you cannot shave with your knife using the Wicked Edge sharpener, then do yourself a favor and throw all your
knives away! The 10 micron paste left a mirror polish on the edge of the blade. Wow! Now I have to get back to work putting every blade in the kitchen
back into working order. --Scott

The finest knife sharpening system I have ever owned, and I've wasted money on too many others. Mirrorlike edges in minutes. Never buy a razor again,
just use your pocket knife!

I finally found time to write a quick review of the Wicked Edge (WE) sharpening system. First, I had an issue with notification and shipping, and I
must say that WE has some of the best customer support I have ever dealt with. They not only met my expectations in this area, but also exceeded them.
Top notch company with regards to customer service. Second, they didn't have a base in stock when I originally ordered, so I made my own.
Unfortunately, it wasn't perfect and I had an issue or two getting a really good edge on the knives I was trying to sharpen. Clay sent me another link
or two with more information and perhaps another video to watch. I readjusted my mounting surface and tried again. The results are sensational. I'm a
knife sharpening idiot. Plain & simple. nThis Wicked Edge system is revolutionary! Within 3 minutes, using just the 100/200, 400/600 stones, and both
sets of strops, my pocket knife's edge is keen enough to shave arm smooth. And this is with a home made mount that isn't perfect. I recently ordered
the super fine ceramic stones and a real base to mount the system to. All I need now is for them to get the 800/1000 grit stones in stock, and I'm
quite confident I'll be able to slice & dice my veggies like the pros, with a Wicked Edge of my own on all my knives. Thanks again for creating a
product that is so simple to use, so precise, that I get a Wicked Edge every time. Sincerely, Roger Morris

My dad purchased this knife sharpening system for himself and for me to use (son). I am a cook and always have a knife in my hand. I can't explain how
important a sharp knife is. We have all stones from 100 grit to the super fine ones. I have the sharpest knife you have ever seen or used. I'm
actually sharpening the other cooks knives now. I can get a week of non stop use before having to resharpen and it only takes minutes! This system is
great. I would say that if you are going to use it as much as I do, you need a better grade tightening bolts. The other ones strip easy. Overall, this
is a great system and I plan on getting one for myself in the near future.

I have always prided myself in my knives being sharp. I went to a store in Arizona and some guy offered to sharpen my knife, he swore by this system.
Sure enough that SOB had my knife sharper, and quicker then I could have done it using my free stones. I purchased one of these sharpening systems
soon after and I have not been let down this product is amazing. My only complaint is that my very small knives (pocket knives) I cannot use in this
system without roughing the edges on the tip of this. But other than that this works amazing for my hunting knives and fillet blades. My buddies are
in awe about how sharp my knives are at all times now... Thank you so much for making this product and striving to always improve it. I had a slight
delay in shipping back in June, but Wicked edge was more than polite and kept me up to date with my purchase. I will be doing more business with them.
Top notch in customer service and one great product.

I have been a person who could never sharpen a knife and would leave it to the people who could. Now with the wicked edge, every knife we own is razor
sharp and I won't ever have to wait for someone else to do it. Thanks Wicked Edge. Worth every dime

Well I just had to write and tell you how pleased I am. After spending literally thousands on every known sharpening method known to man the WICKED
EDGE finally came through for me. In your video I saw a Dino-Lite Microscope so after a little research I ordered one to view the edge of my knifes.
The scope shows a perfect edge the full length of the blade. For the first time I can truly put a razor edge on my set of Global and Ikon knifes.
After a little work I actually tried shaving with a small pocket knife after stropping and I was actually able to shave with it. I never write to
anyone thanking them for a product but I find it impossible to not say thank you for this product. Respectfully, James M. Edwards

I just received my Wicked Edge Sharpener with extra fine stones and stropps. The construction and materials used in the product is excellent,
Instruction are very good, system is very easy to use. The company is very friendly and works very hard to please their customers. This is the best
sharpening system I have ever owned and have owned a few. Produces the best edge I have ever put on a knife. The product totally exceeded my
expectations. Thank you for a great product.

I have recently received my WickedEdge sharpener and can say that it is the BEST system that I have ever tried. I have used the L____y and all types
of 3 stone blocks. I do advise caution, because when they state your blade will be dangerous, they aren't joking. Thanks for all the courteous support
and time. Will be keeping all my blades 'scalpel' sharp for years to come. nJeff nYakima WA

sure one of the best systems out there. The only thing i would have liked to have seen for the money is a mounting base included.. other than that its
Great

I ordered the sharpener, which arrived with two different guide rods, which causes one of the 100-200 pads to stick at the bottom of the stroke on the
rod with the larger base fixture. nI also ordered the stropping pads with the micron paste, one of which is so poorly manufactured that I can't even
slide one of the pads onto the rod, as it seizes half way down the rod. nThe parts that shipped without manufacturing problems work fine, but it would
be better if I didn't receive defective parts which require my time, effort and money to return. If I ever get a response from customer support.

The WEPS is by far the best sharpener I have ever used or seen. Im extremely happy with it and it's very easy to use. Now all my knives are razor
sharp better then the factory edge that came on the knives. I have a lot of recurve blades (zt-300,Emerson commander etc) and I was worried about
sharpening them with the regular stones but it worked great and now they all have mirror finishes. Im a member of USN forum and i told everyone about
it that's how impressed I am with this sharpener and the customer service is awesome infact the best I have ever dealt with. Thank you WEPS

This sharpener is phenomenal. I was a die-hard SharpMaker user until I heard about this on the USN. After considering the Wicked Edge or the Edge Pro,
I decided to go with the Wicked Edge and I am happy I did. It is extremely simple to use and it's much faster and more precise than anything else I've
used to date. My knives are sharper than they have ever been and that's in half the time that it usually takes. The only reason I am giving this four
stars instead of five is that the thumb screws seem to loosen sometimes. That is just as much user error as anything else because I need to be
checking the angle constantly, but I sometimes forget to and I will look down and see that the sharpening angle is about ten degrees different than
what I started with. Overall, the best sharpening system out there. Really, nothing beats it.

It seems highly suspicious that all the reviews have 5-stars. I see that reviews will require approval before they will be displayed. Why review them?
And why not display bad reviews? Knowing what others truely think or what they were disappointed in might be helpful. For example, I know WEPS can't
do seraded edges (its sort of a no brainer) but if someone posted "I was disappointed because it didn't do seraded edges." I'd know this product
wasn't for me. I'm not saying that you should post all "smack talk" kinds of posts but posting only good, 5-star posts make you look aweful
suspicious! I'd like to hear why others might have been disappointed with what they purchased.

This is without doubt the finest product of its type. Its biggest advantage is getting professional results without needing to have the type of skills
that stones demand. Knives are as sharp with this device as you will ever see. Well done

This is the without a doubt the best sharpener I have used or even seen. The results are great every time. It took a few knives to get adjusted to it.
Every sharpening has resulted in a knife that will shave each and every time. I dearly love the Wicked Edge sharpener. Worth every dime!!!!!');
