Choosing the Right Wicked Edge Sharpener for You
WE60 - GO
The WE60 is the most flexible model in the 60 Series lineup. It features our original Standard Vise, making it ideal for sharpening both tiny blades (like those on Swiss Army or Leatherman tools) and extra-thick knives with blade stock thicker than 1/4". With a lower price point and all the essential features, it's the go-anywhere, sharpen-anything option.
WE64 - Cobalt
The WE64 introduces the DualCam® Vise, enabling faster clamping and more even pressure. This model is perfect for users who want a streamlined sharpening experience without sacrificing accuracy. It offers a great balance of price and performance, making it the fastest and most popular choice in the series.
WE66 - Obsidian
The WE66 is the flagship of the 60 Series, featuring the same DualCam® Vise as the WE64 but upgraded with our Micro Angle-Drive™ system for precise angle adjustments in tiny increments. This model is designed for sharpening enthusiasts and professionals who want maximum control and fine-tuning over their edge geometry.
Portability and Compatibility
All 60 Series models are built for portability and compact storage. Each includes a C-clamp for secure mounting, and all are compatible with our custom hard case. Optional aluminum bases and 1/4" blade adapters are available for those needing extra stability or thicker blade support.
Conclusion
Choosing between the WE60, WE64, and WE66 comes down to how much control and convenience you want during your sharpening process. No matter which model you select, you’ll enjoy the same sharp, reliable results that define every Wicked Edge sharpener.
