Have had a few people ask me how... here's a video on it explaining w/ more detail :)

I got a Wicked Edge Field and Sport Pro last week.

And I have one of the vises.

Now you have me thinking.

But thanks for posting.

I also found your video on how to mount FFG knives too. Where you put the tape on the stone and make a mark to adjust the knife to. That was genius. That's how I've got the best results - the most even bevels. Thanks a million for that!
 
After thinking about this - how do you set the stone angles with an angle cube - or is that even possible?

zero it on the aluminum base... I also double check by checking the primary grind on the blade or if I can find a flat on the blade that's even better. In the example below I use the base bar since I have the panavise mount tilted, but if it is mostly horizontal from the side view, just use the aluminum base.

Excuse the math =)
