I probably went a little overboard getting all the stones and polish paper but it does a great job of sharpening a blade

Worth it!

The base is much sturdier and heavier than I imagined, but in a good way. The motions of the stones will take some getting used to, and how to set up the knife will take some practice. As long as you follow the videos, it's really easy to set it all up.

I haven’t been able to find a flaw

I’ve owned the Wicked Edge, Wicked Edge Pro 2, and now the Wicked Edge Gen 4 Pro. This version is really impossible to not like. I’ve tried to find an issue and all my minor quibbles of past sharpeners are gone. It’s a really great system and really the pinnacle of fixed angle sharpeners.

Love it!

Worth every penny!

Recently ordered the Gen 4 Pro with the Ultimate Progression edge kit (IV). I’ve only had it about a week but my entire house is now filled with razor sharp wicked blades. If you’re looking to start a new hobby or business, definitely go with Wicked Sharp!

Great stones

So far so good

This is my first WE system after pining for one over the years. I haven't gotten around to breaking in the stones, but I can already tell it will be quicker to sharpen with than some other systems. I will say that I think the base that came with mine might be slightly bowed, but after securing it to a table it doesn't seem to affect anything

Hi Travis,
Thank you for your feedback. We have a tolerance of 0.06' across the length of your sharpener base. Do me a favor and hold down one corner of the base and measure the distance from the table top to the sharpener base on the side that's bowed up. If that measurement is over 0.06', we'll get you a replacement under warranty. Just send us an email to support@wickededgeusa.com and we'll get you all taken care of.
Thanks,
The Wicked Edge Team

I am used to Gen 4 sharpeners. It will take some getting used to with the lower cost products.

Hi Louis,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. The difference between the Carbon-WE40 can feel significant when compared to our flagship model. However, we're confident that when you're done sharpening your knife, you won't be able to tell if it was done on the Carbon or the Gen 4! If you need anything, feel free to reach out to us at support@wickededgeusa.com.
Thanks!

Almost perfect.

This is my first wicked edge sharpener. I have been wanting one for a couple of years but couldn’t justify the cost to myself. With the new WE40, it was a little easier. Still learning to use it, heck of a learning curve, but the videos make it easier. The o my complaint I have so far is I am missing two of the little o-rings to keep the guide rod shields in place.

Hi A.J.,
Thank you for leaving your review! We're glad to hear the instructional videos are making your sharpening journey a little easier! If you have any questions along the way, we're always happy to help out. I also wanted to apologize for missing those 2 o-rings in your initial order. I just put a warranty order together for you and we'll get them shipped out to you right away. You should see an email about that shortly.
Feel free to email us at support@wickededgeusa.com if you need anything else!
Happy sharpening,
Ryan & the Wicked Edge team

Awesome sharpening system at a great value

The carbon 40 is an amazing sharpening system that is very user friendly straight out of the box. The sharpening motion takes a little practice to get used to, but once you have it down, turning a dull knife into an absolute straight razor is a breeze.
