ADDITION: I bought a couple of the WE diamond stones so I could copy the standard for making my own using hardwood and cheap stones that fit my Edge Pro.
THEN Wicked Edge had a sale on a new line of sharpeners, which came with two sets of stones I didn't have. I was, temporarily, rich that month, so bought one. Then I waited the couple months for delivery on the new line.
The WE came. I mounted it on another piece of the heavy composite I had. Minutes later, I am very pleased with the $200.00 investment. It's quicker than the Edge Pro to set up for kitchen knives. They were wicked sharp in minutes.
With the new stones in hand, I put the commercially built WE to the side and pulled out my WE inspired version built to save a buck and to solve the aforementioned WE problems. I was WAY tickled at how quick it went. Even quicker than using the commercial unit.
I blew through three kitchen knives, walked them over to the buffer, polished the 1,000 grit edges and they were pushing through paper.
If worse comes to worse, my buddy will get a nice Christmas gift, since he's caught the knife bug. He'll just have to buy his own stones.
Meanwhile, I need to detail out my sharpener. Things like adding stone storage, mounting it on the office chair base I kept from the last replacement. Maybe, adding a drawer. . . .
