Carbon WE40 from Christmas 2024

This is my first wicked edge sharpener and I got it to ease into this type of sharpener. It immediately peaked my interest and curiosity to expand with more stones and strops which you have the ability to do. The sharpener works great the adjustment for angle is simple and vice is adequate. Having this one does make me more curious about a more professional model with additional features. Overall great product. I got one without the base and have secured with C-clamp but think the base would make it more versatile. The support from videos on youtube greatly help lower the learning curve for the sharpening system. I did take to customizing the system, adding a case and some coloring to make it easier to see in low light. overall 5 stars

WE40 Cobalt is great

The WE 40 Cobalt is a great new entry level, budget friendly option for those looking to try a high precision, fixed position, guided angle sharpening system. It is light weight and compact. Good for at home, or on-the-go use. It's a great way to see if the Wicked Edge is right for you.

Carbon WE40

I like it, there's definitely a learning curve and eventually I will learn it. I mainly use it to sharpen my straight razors. I did notice that one side of the jaws are at an angle and they don't hold my straight razor so that the edge is straight up and down, the blade is at an angle on one side.
