Thread: anyone ever use this?

I was surfing around on you tube and saw this anyone ever use it? Wicked edge, seems like it be great for all honing and sharpening.

Hmmm, If the hone holding sticks were closer to the vice to create a steeper beveled edge resemblant of the angle of bevel when spine and edge are touching the stone surface, and if those hones were replaceable with razor-quality hones to cover the whole progression, that might be an innefficient and overly complicated option. As it is, it looks best suited for knives.

I have the Lansky and the Gatco systems. They are wonderful for knives. I wouldn't even consider trying it on any of my razors tho.

Sharpening systems are made to use with tools that don't have built in angle guides, as razors have. These systems have no use for razor sharpening, for knives they are great.

I have a friend that has that for knives, ant it work awesome for knives. If I didnt have a Lansky I would get that system for my knives. But as others have said not for razors.

well he hones a razor in the vid online plus the arms are adjustable to different angles and the stone come off to change grits

I didn't say it can't be done, but the edge will be crappy compared to normal honing. And I am totally sure that it would be much harder to get a good edge on a razor with the WEPS, than with bench stones. Razors are much easier to hone than knifes, the problem is, that if you knife isn't the sharpest and smoothest possible, than you put a bit more pressure when cutting and thats all. Now, if your razor isn't the best, than you will be very unpleased

Also, I am 99,9% sure the guy in the vid doesn't sahve with a straight.

Sorry my friend, I think you're just going to have to learn how to hone your razor using a rock like the rest of us. It's really not that hard, though...

I saw a vid of someone sharping a knife with it. Very cool but too rough for a razor

I am not worried about honing my razors... more concerned with the knifes, keeping the right angles
