Awesome set and love the hard case for everything! I had to spend the extra cash and get the pro III for the better clamping base, I didn’t really want to mess with the allen screw clamp even though im sure it holds just fine. Had to learn some techniques and found lots of helpful videos on YouTube. Used the gatco system for a while and it worked well but this thing sharpens with %100 precision! Ive been getting some beautiful mirror edge finishes on my quality blades. My main complaints are the clamp seems too tight on some of my blades and i feel im going to damage it when locking it down sometimes, tried the 1/4” clamps to try for better fit, sometimes it helps and sometimes not. Wondering if i should try some dry lube on the cam? Other complaint is not enough slots in the hard case for all the extra stones. I’ve been slowly collecting more stones, strops & blanks for nano cloths but by the time I’ve collected all I’ll need for what i want i am short 2 or 3 sets worth of storage spots in the hard case... One last gripe is there should be an option to get the set with the granite base instead of the aluminum. I definitely would have went with the upgrade considering how much i was already spending...
Either way i have no regrets! I will have this thing for life and I’m sure my son will be using it after my time is up. Thank you Wicked Edge for the awesomely designed sharpener! I love it and my wife loves that all her kitchen knives can widdle hair now! 👍🏻👍🏻
