I find sharpening hard to do. I can make a sharp knife dull in a heart beat. I find sharpening a little intimidating. I am bad about selling or giving away a knife when it gets dull. lol I have though lots about getting a Wicked Edge system. But that price! The only reason I can rationalize buying it, I am too nervous to mail out a $400 plus dollar knife to be sharpened. I don't trust the postal system and UPS costs too much. lol
Anyways, that is a nice set up you have. Looks like you have mastered the hobby of sharpening. What is a fair price to pay someone to put a mirror edge on a knife? I thought I read $10 was fair, but that seams cheap to me. I have a few knives in S30VN, they feel like they are very hard to sharpen. <--I have never done anything other than a strop. But I didn't use a compound. I think that was my problem. I have been thinking about getting a strop and some compound.
Thanks for posting your set up. Your edges look outstanding. That mirror polish you do makes me drool. I have a few CRK blades I would love that on!
PS: Sorry for the rambling of this post. I am up early fighting a bad cold.
