WE40: Wicked Edge Carbon

Wicked Edge

The Carbon - WE40 Precision Knife Sharpener is perfect for those who are looking for a lightweight, simple sharpening system that provides incredibly sharp edges. Whether you're taking it in the field, leaving it in your shop, or tucking it away in a kitchen cupboard, the Carbon is always ready to take your edge to a wicked level of sharpness.

Wicked Edge went back to the drawing board to find a solution to easily clamp thick, thin, small, large, fully flat, and distally tapered blades. With two fully independent sides, the Standard Vise allows for a secure grip on all the blades you own. Self-centering design means you'll have perfectly symmetrical bevels for incredible cutting performance. Able to clamp blades up to a 1/4" with interchangeable screws for tiny blades, clamping with a Standard Vise has never been easier.

Secure your sharpener in whatever way works best for you. Keep it portable and use a clamp to secure the sharpener to any flat work surface. Check out the optional Aluminum Base for a sleek, all-black look. You can also mount the sharpener directly to a workbench with the 4 predrilled holes or create your own look with a base of your own design! Whatever works for you, works for the Carbon.

Repeatable clamping position is one of the many things that makes Wicked Edge different. The Carbon comes with 3 different-sized blade stops to allow your blade to rest securely and prevent it from moving in the vise. The Standard Alignment Guide lets you easily record your knife's position so touch-ups can be done in as little as 30 seconds getting your edge back to sharp and you back to doing what you love.

Razor maker!!
After much deliberation I recently settled on the WE40 carbon.After watching a few easy setup vids I was on my way. The blade clamp is simple to get your knife secure and perfectly set for a easy sharpening session. Super simple and smooth guide rods make this system a pure dream to use. I took a knife I had overly abused and neglected that was dull as could be, it now cuts like a razor on steroids!!! Can't say enough how absolutely fantastic the Wicked Edge systems is!!!I'll give my lansky system to Good Will.
