Choosing Your Edge Kit
Choosing the right sharpener is important—but choosing the right abrasives is what truly defines your results. Every Wicked Edge precision knife sharpener is capable of producing a razor-sharp edge, but it’s the grit progression, strops, and films you use that determine the finish and performance of your edge.
To help you get started, we’ve put together a guide to our Edge Kits—bundled accessory packs that include thoughtfully selected stones, strops, and abrasives to match your sharpening goals.
Note: If a kit includes the 800/1000 Grit Diamond Stones as optional, that means the kit’s progression requires those stones, but you can opt out of purchasing them if your sharpener already includes them.

Convex Creation Kits – Durability First
If durability is your top priority, a convex edge is the way to go. By rounding the bevel slightly, you give your edge more material support—reducing rolling and wear. Whether you're slicing rope or carving wood, the Convex Creation and Ultimate Convex kits offer excellent performance with impressive shine.
