That takes practice. And balls.

I have a similar setup, but rarely use it any more.

You should see the edges kwackster gets off his wheels, truly spectacular.

I have a sharpmaker that I've had for a while, and a WEPS. Really love the wicked edge and find I only use the sharpmaker for quick touch ups.

Other guys with a WEPS, what angles, depth and letter are you using on your knives? I saw a video of Clay with a large 21 and I think it was A.5 and 20°? I'll have to go back and check it out before doing my CRK's on it, it's a little unnerving with knives 3-4x more costly than what you're used to sharpening!

Yup that setting does work. I did mine last night. Top holes, A.5, 20°....

Here is the sebby after WE treatment. Really liked the results. Top holes, A.5, 20 deg/side. I used 100,200,400,600,800,1000,1200 & 1600 grits.

Cool. I've got the same stones, as well as a couple sets of strops. 5/3.5 & 1/.5 I'll probably do it this weekend.

I've got an Edge Pro, Lansky w/diamond stones, and a Sharpmaker. The sharpmaker for me is the easiest and quickest for me to use. I really like the Lansky a lot because I LOVE clamp-style sharpeners and the lansky is easy to use, just takes more time than the Sharpmaker, but way better for reprofiling. The Edge Pro I don't like. It's awkward and difficult for me to use consistently. I know it takes some repetition to learn to use it, but I still don't care for it, so I'm selling it in our BST area.

The Wicked Edge looks like a better version of the Lansky (not putting down the Lansky at all... I love my Lansky)
