FAQ

Wicked Edge sharpeners are proudly made in the United States. Their manufacturing facilities are located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The company takes great pride in producing high-quality sharpening systems right in their home country.

Wicked Edge sharpeners typically feature a two-stroke system. This means that during the sharpening process, each side of the blade is stroked twice to ensure even and precise sharpening. The dual-stroke mechanism allows for consistent and efficient sharpening results.

The choice of grit stone for sharpening a knife depends on the specific needs and preferences of the user. Different grits are available, each serving a different purpose in the sharpening process.

Coarse grit stones, typically ranging from 120 to 800, are used for repairing heavily damaged or dull blades. They remove a significant amount of material and are ideal for reshaping the edge.

Medium grit stones, around 1000 to 3000, are commonly used for regular maintenance and sharpening. They effectively refine the edge and remove minor nicks and imperfections.

Fine grit stones, ranging from 4000 to 8000 and above, provide a polished finish and are used for refining and honing the blade to achieve a razor-sharp edge. They are great for enhancing cutting performance and precision.

Yes, a 1000 grit stone is generally sufficient for knife sharpening. A 1000 grit stone falls within the medium range and is commonly used for regular maintenance and sharpening of knives.

With a 1000 grit stone, you can effectively refine the edge, remove minor nicks and imperfections, and restore the blade's sharpness. It provides a good balance between material removal and creating a sharp cutting edge.

However, it's important to note that the ideal grit for knife sharpening can vary based on personal preference, the condition of the blade, and the desired level of sharpness. Some individuals may prefer a coarser grit for heavier material removal, while others may prefer a finer grit for a polished, razor-sharp edge.

Ultimately, the 1000 grit stone can be a versatile and effective choice for maintaining and sharpening most knives, but you can always consider using additional grits for a more comprehensive sharpening process if desired.
