To get it insanely sharp..... ...
Ok, I always did wonder how to strop, there seems to be 2 Strategies:
1) Like most do after finishing all stones strop very lightly at the same angle or a bit more narrow angle to not loose the edge but make it finer. Seems to work for me
2) As I did try at first with my Paramilitary 2 with high pressure at the same angle or a bit wider angle. Did work as well but not every time. But this gave me the sharper edge. For #2 see also this video:
#1 is self explaining.
#2 Did work as well (for me with much pressure, in the Video with greater angle but light pressure).
I always thought when using Spray the fine scratches from the DIamond will slide along the side of the Blade and therfore would create a saw like edge if you would watch it under the microscope.
(I assumed there should be a hole at the end of the edge where the diamonds on the strop would pass the edge, therefore forming a saw under the microscope.)
To understand what I mean, see the picture:
But as I looked at the pictures Clay did of the highly polished blade that he strops with different media, I did notice that there are those scratches at the side but there is a clean edge and not a saw like one as I assumed.
So might #2 Maybe create those Micro-Saw-Tooth?
Anyone knows the answer or has experience?

Shapton? Where?
Hi,
I always read about Shapton stones. The ones in the Shop are Chosera but where do you get Shapton and which of both would you prefer? I think Shapton should be better since they are available much finer.
Thanks, Sven.

Re: Any news of Pro Pack 2 upg ...
Hi Clay,
since I am located in Germany calling in and discussing all was no option.
Sure, if you can send me information of the new Pro Pack 2 by mail please that is ok for me, but isn't that much more time consuming than just posting it on the site?
Therefore, please send me informatin on the ProPackII (included items + Price + Shipping to Germany)
Also I would like to know if the Ball Bearing Arms will be in there or if they have to be bought additional later on.
My mail address is the one I did register with, but will send you as PM.
Thanks!

10/1/2012 Update
Many thanks to Fred Hermann for kindly nudging me to keep people updated
We received 25 of the new Base Rods at the end of last week and have been shipping those out. That was all the supplier produced before their engraver went on the fritz. They since have got it back up and running and are working on the remaining pieces. I'll be able to get an update from them in the morning with an ETA for the rest of the pieces. We have everything else in stock so once the rods come in, we'll be shipping fast and furious. Thankfully we've mostly eliminated our backorder folder and also have some extra help in-house right now so things should roll pretty quickly. If you've got a Pro-Pack II or Upgrade on order, thank you very much for your patience. I can say very confidently that these new parts are awesome and you'll love using them.
--Clay
Hey Clay you are pretty funny! "If you have a ProPack II on Backorder....."
I AM STILL WAITING FOR IT TO APPEAR ON THE WEBSITE SO I CAN LOOK WHAT IS INCLUDED AND SO I CAN ORDER WHAT I NEED!
I'm waiting a damn long time now for any relieable info (included pieces/price) and it seems behind the scenes the new WE Pro Pack II gets shipped while I do not even know a way to order!
So probably I will be last in line and probably can't even order one before they run out again.
Really, not to offend but I'm pretty pissed now, waiting for any info / chance to order just to hear they get shipped already. Seems others are somehow able to order....
Sven.

I started by preparing a bunch of samples with super polished bevels so we would be able to clearly see the effects of various abrasives.
Hi Clay,
Fascinating pictures! I'm curious, how did you "super polish" the edge to begin with?
Sincerely,
--Lagrangian
I progressed through the usual diamond plates, then on to the Micro-Fine ceramics and then used 1um diamond on cow leather, .5um diamond on cow leather, .25um diamond on kangaroo and then .125 CBN on kangaroo. I didn't spend so much time as to remove every last scratch, just the vast majority.
So you did ship the Super fine 1200/1600 in this case? Did it take you much longer with the next ceramics since you did skip the fist?

Re: Any news of Pro Pack 2 upg ...
Thanks Clay,
just to make sure I understand correctly, they will probably be shipped somewhere next time from TW/CN?
How long does it take to get to you? The shipping TW/CN to Germany takes about 3 weeks.
If I calculate corectly it will be in the US mid next month or maybe a bit later correct?
Just curious since I (as some other also said) need to know when I need to pay that big bucks
Can you put me on the waiting list so I won't have to wait 2 more months until since I did register too late ;=)

Re: Any news of Pro Pack 2 upg ...
Hello,
I am thinking about buying a Pro-Pack and did think to have seen the Pro-Pack 2 on this site but can't find it anymore.
Has it been removed?
How did you order it?
What exactly is included?
Since I know there is a waiting list I would like to be able to order what I need now (instead wait until it is back on the website again) but I don't know how!
Also I can't find the Super-Fine (or Ultra?) Ceramic stones nowhere on the site. Where are they? I just can find the Micro-Fine ones but not the 1200/1600 ones.
Can you help?
