Trouble with Spyderco

[mariankier]

Hello,
I recently got my wicked edge and when I tried to sharpen my Spyderco paramilitary 2 today the stones we’re rubbing against the vise, I’ve heard that the low angle adapter solves this issue but I don’t want to have to buy more equipment. Is there anyway to solve this without any extra equipment if not are there any less expensive alternatives to the low angle adapter?

Dear mariankier:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

Perhaps it would have been more accurate to title your post "Trouble with Wicked Edge sharpener?"

Stay safe,

Mike

This.

I use a Wicked Edge occasionally for reprofiling edges. I sometimes have to compromise on the angle I want to make sure the stones clear the clamp.

If the stones are going to rub the clamp at the angle I want, I simply sharpen at an angle that the stones come very close to the clamp but don’t rub.

Hi, mariankier:
Welcome to our forum. Since this isn't actually about Spyderco, I'm moving your thread to Off-Topic.

We can't advise you on someone else's product, but we'd recommend you consider our Tri-Angle Sharpmaker.

Make it a good day!
