If you’re looking for a compact, no-BS sharpener that actually works, the Venture is a strong option—especially for EDC, hunting, or kitchen touch-ups.
The standout feature is the guided angle system (20°), which takes the guesswork out of sharpening. You don’t need to be a pro to get a clean, consistent edge, and that’s where this thing really shines. It uses a dual-sided setup (diamond + ceramic), so you can go from dull to razor sharp pretty quickly without switching tools. I did have to purchase a replacement 20 degree guide since I used this sharpener frequently.
Makes a perfect upgrade from the 500 stone that comes with sharpener!
This was an important piece to own for accuracy and efficiency in sharpening. I would include it with the purchase of the main sharpener and save me the trouble of having to double back and get it later. This was a less than ideal experience to find out the WE 64 couldn't achieve this goal of low angle and small knife sharpening.
Thank you so much again! Wish I would’ve invented it.
The new blade stabilizer is terrific. I sharpen all of our kitchen cutlery as well as my filleting knife for fishing and a wide variety of pocket and utility knives. I now use the stabilizer on any knife long enough to flex while clamped in the vice. Sharpening is quicker and way more consistent because the blade is now rigid end to end. Excellent product!
