Wicked Edge Picture Request

[GarrettWeidman]

Does anybody have a close up of the edge that the 600 grit stones produce and a picture of the edge the 1000 grit stones produce? are the 800/1000 grit stones worth it? Or would you get different stones to supplement the standard kit? Any experience and comments would be appreciated, thanks.

The Wicked Edge website has many magnified pictures of blades finished with various stones.

I don't have my WEPS yet, but I'm coming to the conclusion that the Pro Kit with the 800/1000 diamonds and the 5/3.5 strops is the way to go.

It depends on if you want a hair popping edge or not. I would get the 800/1000 stones at least. I have the 1200/1600 and 5u/3.5u also. If you don't get them you will probably wonder constantly about what you are missing. If you do get them you will be able to stop at the best level of sharpness for the job.

On a side note, 400 on the wicked edge has given me the worst cut. I reached across it not thinking and the knife in the vise caught my arm. 3" scar now.
