Wicked Edge Knife Sharpener ??

[bowhunter-tw]

Have any of you had experience with the Wicked edge knife sharpening system or something similar? I have a hard time keeping a consistent edge with a regular stone, maybe I just need to spend more time with it and learn how to do it right? But if anybody has had good luck with a system like this would like to hear your thoughts. 

 

thanks,

That reminds me a bit of the KME (https://www.kmesharp.com) which I have.  I've found it much more effective than just using a regular stone (I'm just an amateur after all) but still a little time-consuming.

More recently I've been using a Horl (https://www.horl-1993.com/de_en) and I've found it effective and very easy to use.

Geez, they sure don't give 'em away, do they?? 😮

I use a Worksharp when the knife gets really dull. In between I'll often touch up an edge with my Spyderco Sharpmaker system.

Yah they are dang pricey, but if it gives a good edge, and it better be REALLY good, then it might be worth it, especially on an expensive knife. I've messed with the worksharp but it doesnt keep a very consistent edge, definitely wouldnt sharpen a real expensive knife with it.

You can get by with a Lansky system, same principle IE: guide rod to align the stone. For the dollars they want for that “Wicked expensive edge” you could buy some killer stones and a dang nice knife to boot! Getting a good edge with stones is not really that hard to do. For a decent set to get you going, for less than a hundred dollars, I would go here https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/Ultimate-Oil-Stone-Kit-P320.aspx. Four grits and a wood backed piece of leather with compound for a final polish. The polished edge makes a difference.

I have a Lansky three stone system that was given to me 30 odd years ago that you are more than welcome to try if you want. I’m in SW Phoenix.

BTW, A buddy has a work sharp, tired it and I did not care for it one bit. No offense meant just my personal experience.
