LetLet me just start off by saying Customer Service was great very quick response and very quick at resolving the problem . The problem my head was they delivered to the same sharpening stones when it was supposed to be one of this kind and one of a different kind and I received the one that I was missing within about four days after the phone call, they’re sharpening stones. Let me say they were great as they are intended to.. I don’t believe sharpening a knife can get much easier than this when you are out in the field.
I love the Venture it’s very easy to use. I fast to use to put a nice edge on a knife.
I love the idea, but it is harder to use than expected. Is not smooth ,but catches frequently, making a uniform edge difficult.
Hi Adam,
Thank you for your review. You might have received a defective Knife Guide. Please reach out to us at support@wickededgeusa.com to arrange a warranty replacement. In the meantime, please try a drop of oil in both of the tracks that the Knife Guide slides in. We like 3-in-1 silicon oil but most light oils work well.
Works as described. Thank you.
This is a great knife sharpener. Although when I first got this it didn't slide properly so i sprayed some "break free clp" on it and started sliding it back and forth slowly. I did this with no knife in it for about 10 minutes and it started sliding great, so I put a knife in it that was not super dull and after about 5mins of working it the knife it was hair shaving sharp. The knife I used was the (esee izula) which is 1095 steel so not a super steel like (3v, s35vn, magnacut etc.) so how it does on the super steels i can't tell you. But for most EDC knives this sharpener will work great. There's a little bit of a learning curve to it like most sharpeners, but for the most part its a great piece of gear. If wicked edge can work out the first use sliding hang up it will definitely be 5 stars especially if it will sharpen super steels. So someone needs to see if it will work on the super steels especially Magnacut since its so popular. If I had a Magnacut knife id dull it some just to see if it would do a touch up to Magnacut, i think it would. Wicked edge fix the little issue and you will have a 5 star product! I normally use a (work sharp guided field sharpener) for everything because i normally just need touch ups, but i've been using this and just as fast. Will it replace my Work sharp in my EDC bag no, the only reason it won't is just because of everything that the work sharp can do. Where i do think this will shine is with those of us with disabilities or dexterity issues because of how simple it is to use and hold! I will continue to use this and i did buy the different angle guides and they super easy to change out and use. I reprofiled a cheap knife and the sharpener worked great on that! Like the title says GREAT KNIFE SHARPENER!
Hi Camryn,
Thank you for your review. I'm glad you're enjoying the sharpener. We have implemented some changes to our QC process to eliminate the Knife Guides that don't slide well, but it looks like we missed one. We're working on a couple of updates to our process to further improve the way the guides slide.
