You know, even though I have the edge pro with basically all the stones money can buy for that system, I have been contemplating a Wicked edge system as well.
The few times I wanted to hit buy, their website said there where quality issues in production and so there was a backlog on it.
I wasn't able to find out how long that backlog was, and with that happening a few times, I kinda lost my interest eventually
I really like the looks of the Wicked Edge system after watching the demos on it. I just need to put to rest for a while some of the home improvement ideas I've had long enough to get through this purchase of a " basic necessity". It would also help if I stayed out of the classified ads for a while too.
I'll put up the edge I get from my 1 x 30 belt sander with any of those slow, overpriced hand systems. :p
I have the Edge Master system...it's a belt sander set-up. I can sharpen 20 knives, at least, in the time it would take me to sharpen 1 knife using stones. I don't care how skilled you are with stones, you'll not match the speed of this system. You may match the edge, but it will take you FAR longer
I use a 600, 800, and 1000 grit followed by a leather strop belt that goes on the machine.
My J.A. Henckels kitchen knives are very sharp. Yes some of the other sharpeners can make them sharper yet but why do you want a knife that sharp? The edge just becomes weaker when you try and make it as sharp as a razor. Plus they take a long time with other methods. I can make a butcher knife extremely sharp in less than 5 minutes and that's including the time to change belts. I love this system.
There is a saying that you can have fast or you can have good. I'll take good. If you want, pm me and I will show you what the WEKS can do for your blade. All it will cost you is shipping.

I disagree Paul. The Edgemaster System that Wayne uses is the same thing I have and the edge is fantastic. Fast does not mean lower quality.
