Just got the WE20. I noticed that I am cutting into the vertical portion of the sliding guide. Just me getting used to this I guess. Otherwise I am getting a nice edge. Using it for kitchen knives which are a bit long. But it’s working well!
Hi Bruce, thanks for sharing your experience with the WE20. Glad to hear you’re getting a nice edge and that it’s working well for you. You might find it helpful to rotate your hand so the sharpener tilts in towards the center of your body as you sharpen for a more natural movement. If you also try to keep the knife edge perpendicular to the length of the stone, it should help prevent the knife from cutting into the guide.
Haven't needed to use it yet. Shipping was prompt, was well packed. looks like it will work as advertised.
These and the lapping films have allowed me to put some amazing finishes on my kitchen knives!
For the price the small blade clamp should be standard
