Wicked edge

[HxX20]

So I bit the billet and bought the wicked edge pro pack 2 and a buddy sharpened one of my knives with his. I watched the YouTube videos but can get the same results he did. Any advice?

Good! Can I bring you some knives? Did you order it online or buy ugly locally?

Got it on fleabay. Bring em on over and we can learn together! Lol

I know it depends on the blade. Some cheap steel is nearly impossible to resharpen

Ran into the same thing with my lansky. Put a scary sharp edge on my expensive kitchen knives and 154cm benchmades. Tried a buck 119 and can't get it anywhere close

Weird. Ole boy put a mirror finish on a 20 dollar kershaw. Pop hairs from a mile away!

Make sure you mark the edge with a Sharpie to find the correct angle that your knife is already ground. If you want to re-profile to a new angle, then it is gonna take a lot of work. Once you get used to it, then you can get a "wicked edge".

I still use a free hand Arkansas stone for my knives on a weekly basis, but even up the angles occasionally on a friends Wicked Edge.

All it takes is about 30 years of practice. I am finally getting good at it.
