This is far and away the most clear and informative video I’ve seen for the wicked edge, if not sharpening in general. Great job man.

Wow, thanks! I'm really glad you found it helpful!

Great job Bob. Even thought I've had the Propac 2 for a little over a year I've learned so much from these new videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for these videos! I just got the Wicked Edge and these videos helped me learn to use the system and got my first knife I used on it really sharp!

CAn this thing sharpend a 2 blade traditional broadhead like a Bear, Deadhead, Zwickey or Simmons?

[@oldawantoolstostaysharp3821]

It sure can. But the angle can be an issue if you want to lower it since the cutting edge is close to the vise and the ferrule can also get in the way. I haven't had any issues with angles on the traditional broadheads people have brought or sent me but I certainly haven't seen every one. You can also sharpen removable blades. You might also look at KME - they have a specific jaw set for broadheads on their knife sharpener. And they have broadhead sharpener as well for use on bench stones

[@HammerSmashedFace92]

Hurts a bit when you lightly rubbed the stones together putting them on and off the table

[@Donyk]

What's your take on The Kazak Sharpener?

[@oldawantoolstostaysharp3821]

Looks like an Edge Pro Style system very similar to the TS Prof take on the design. Given that, I'm sure it works very well. I haven't' used one so can't comment on the fit and finish etc and I haven't' heard about them before now so not sure how their service and support is

[@Donyk]

Seems like WE has the best system to keep the Bevel even on both sides.

[@oldawantoolstostaysharp3821]

It is the only one where you don't have to flip the knife. But with any of them it is the user that ultimately determines the the results. Like hand sharpening you need to keep an eye on what is happening as you work. The systems help with holding the angle so you get consistent contact between the stone and the blade - beyond that it is user dependent.

[@harleygreen1365]

Just go for 15 degrees

[@oldawantoolstostaysharp3821]

Glad that technique works for you - it does for a lot of folks. I prefer to make the angle I choose match the knife and its use so I get as much edge life or sharpness as possible - depending on the circumstance.
