Custom Wicked Edge base/stone holder! Finally done [emoji736]

[Wiz198]

So I traded for a Wicked Edge gen 1 system. I then sold the original stones and purchased new ones along with additional strops, extra coarse and ceramic stones...then finally the new ProPack 2 arms. I then took some measurements and came up with a game plan to make my own base and stone holder. It resembles the gen 3 base but cost my a fraction of the money. The granite was given to me by my friend, the the oak, mdf, lexan and aluminum sheet cost me about 50$.

Let me like what you think and any thoughts for additions or improvements.

Nice work, that thing has to be HEAVY!

Thanks man! It is heavy but I made it to be mobile. So the granite top comes right off. Than I'm left with just the base so each on their own is very manageable

Super job, I just bought the low angle adaptor for mine. You look to be all set up. Love how you store the stones underneath 👍

Thanks all! How's the low angle adapter? It must be necessary for sharpening knives like the 940. To be honest I haven't even sharpened any knife yet. I just finished this morning before work...and I'm just getting home now. So can't wait to try it out. I think I'm going to start with my Pm2 user.

Let me know how the low angle adapter is because I sold my 940-1 and I think I want one again lol.

Few more pics from this past week of sharpening a few different knives. I must say I'm super impressed with the wicked edge as a whole. There is definitely a learning curve with each blade and steel having its own unique set of challenges. I did run into one problem while sharpening my 4th knife. My new set of 1200/1600 ceramic stones had a glue malfunction. One of the stones separated....and not even while sharpening but just placing on the guide arm. It just came apart.

Great setup. Terrific design and craftsmanship.

I have Wicked Edge Pro Pack and think it is great but I wish I had your base and storage for the stones.....

Nice work!
