Of course if you add up the Tormek, 30-40 Waterstones, Ken Onion etc I've spent WAAAY more than the Wicked Edge overall. Still don't know that it's worth the money.
Watch the Murray Carter video's. He's WON actual sharpening competitions using 1000 and 6000 grit King waterstones and newspaper. You can buy a 1000/6000 grit stone for $40-$80 depending on the size.
With Sharpening, Skills are more important than the tools.
Yes, thats true but I just don't trust myself on the more expensive folders yet... Check out Micheal Christy channel, he also use handheld Diastone and turn any bevel into hair whittling sharp. |

I have diamond stones already, it's the setup that seems slow to me. I guess if you liked that kind of thing you'd be good to go, but I feel it's already a chore and don't want it to be 5 times as long as I need it to be. I had bought the Benchmade Kitchen knive set for my mom and she dulled them. I hauled the Edgepro over, but once there figured I'd rather sit down, have a highball and visit. Tossed the edgepro in the corner. Now I see that kit stuffed in the corner everytime I go over. |
