Having purchased the more complete Wicked Edge system in the past, the Venture met my expectations. An exceptional devise for keep our most used kitchen knives sharp.
Finally a sharpener that work for a non knife guy!
The picture attached can speak better than any words I can type. Wish I could let you feel and hear the difference. These edges barely make a whisper as they pushcut through paper. 5 to 6 passes with the glass backed plattens do more work than 30 stokes on the strops. I purchased each level from the 9 micron to the 0.1 micron. It's a must have thing if you want to be the best.
These guides give me much more versatility with my sharpener.
