Hi Mark,

Some things in life are predictable. I got back from vacation and thought that before I take a photo of the knife I would just touch it up. Doh!!! I did of course ruin the finish I put on. So, I'm busy stropping tonight and hope to get a photo up tomorrow.

Hi Mark,

Yes, I have a few of Alan Woods knives. The woodlore has a slight hollow grind on the Scandi edge and I really wanted to flatten it so it had a true flat grind. Let me just say it took a lot of time with the 100 grit stone to get the hollow grind flat! I think if I was going to do that again I would get a more aggressive stone. My 100 grit is quite smooth now!
As you say it's about 1cm and so far I have a smooth polish on it and too be honest it's not far from a mirror finish. I'm on vacation now but when I get back in a week I'll posta photo of it.

Cheers

Ed

Hi Clay, thanks for the hint, I will check that right now.

I still managed to reprofile a woodlore this morning. I'm very impressed with the finish though it did take a while to get the initial profile!

Thanks Bruce. Checked with Angle and when I set the right hand paddle at 15 deg, as marked on the WE, I need to set the left at 16 deg to get the same angle.

Is there supposed to be any movement in the jaws when clamped ? I can get the jaws to swivel slightly when the knife is clamped.

Hi everyone,

I'm Ed from Hampshire in the UK.

I'm new to the Wicked Edge sharpener , received my kit a few days ago thanks to great service from Peter in Germany.
Already picked up a tremendous amount of information from this site, thank you all!

Sharpened my first couple of knives yesterday. Great results, am very pleased with the WE. Bit puzzled that one bevel was steeper than the other side so I put an angle measuring device on the paddles and found a 2 degree variance. Anyone have any ideas why?

Help gratefully appreciated.
