I found a consistent angle very very difficult with this system. A knockoff edge pro apex system about the same price and easily 3x better. Jm2cw.

kenstogieAt first I was the same, then I did two things that helped:
1. Make sure the guide rod is completely in line with the stone, a small angle at the joint leads to a large deviation while grinding. 2. use a finger to keep the guide rod in the same part of the clamp at all times. again, that little wiggle translates a fair bit.
I also make sure to clamp the blade at the right depth, and only work on a small arc directly in front of the clamp at a time.

BpendragonThere is a learning curve for sure. It is not idiot proof but this system can do a great job.. The only thing better is the wicked edge.

kenstogieproblem with knocoffs is the quality of the stones. Low end stones won't last, will carve and be rather inefficient. Well, at least this is what testers say and what led me here.
Now, maybe I will end up with a Wicked edge at some point. Too bad I went through spyderco triangle and lansky kits first :D
