How to Install Generation 3 V2 Upgrade Jaws for 1/4" Blades
Looking to sharpen thicker knives on your Wicked Edge sharpener? The Generation 3 V2 Upgrade Jaws for 1/4" blades are the perfect solution. Designed to fit the Cam-Lock Vise, these jaws are compatible with the Generation 3 Pro, WE130, and any other model that’s been upgraded to include the Cam-Lock Vise.
Follow this step-by-step guide to install your new jaws safely and correctly.
Compatibility
The Generation 3 V2 1/4" Jaws are designed for sharpeners with a Cam-Lock Vise. This includes:
- Generation 3 Pro
- WE130
- Sharpeners upgraded with the Cam-Lock Vise
Before You Begin
You’ll need the following tools to complete the installation:
- Your Depth Key
- The Vise in the unlocked, upright position
- The tension adjustment set to the lowest setting
Removing the Existing Jaws
- Pinch the jaws together firmly using your fingers.
- Use a single pin from the depth key to push the retaining pins out from the front of the vise.
- Once the pins are partially out, pull them free and set them aside.
- Carefully remove the jaws while keeping them pinched—there’s a small polyurethane spring inside that can fall out easily.
Installing the 1/4" Jaws
- Align the new jaws and slide them into the vacant slot in the vise.
- Reinsert the retaining pins through the front or back of the vise.
- Line the pins up with the holes through the jaws and polyurethane spring—it may take some patience to get the alignment just right.
- Once aligned, the pins should slide in smoothly and lock the jaws into place.
