Wicked Edge has produced precision knife sharpening systems in the United States since 2007, and the company's patented dual-sided sharpening design has become the benchmark that every other clamping system in the category is measured against. DLT Trading carries the full Wicked Edge lineup — from the entry-level Carbon WE40 through the flagship Generation 4 Pro — along with the diamond stones, ceramic abrasives, strops, and diamond pastes that complete the system.
The core of every Wicked Edge sharpener is the dual-arm guide rod design. Two independently controlled sharpening arms work both sides of the blade simultaneously at matched angles, producing symmetrical bevels in roughly a quarter of the time a single-arm system requires. That matters for more than just speed — because both sides of the edge are worked at the same rate, the apex stays centered on the blade's original geometry rather than drifting as you flip back and forth on a single-sided platform. The patented design also avoids the work-hardening that some single-arm and powered systems can introduce, which means Wicked Edge-sharpened edges hold up longer under hard use without rolling or chipping. Every sharpener in the lineup is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, built with airplane-grade aluminum components and backed by a lifetime warranty on every model except the Venture Series portable sharpener, which carries a five-year warranty.
The Carbon WE40 is the most accessible entry point into the Wicked Edge system — a lightweight, injection-molded glass-filled nylon base paired with the same dual-arm sharpening geometry as the premium models, included 200/600 grit diamond stones, and the capability to handle blades up to 15 inches. The Cobalt WE64 and Obsidian WE66 are part of the compact, portable 60 Series, with the Cobalt offering a slide-adjusted angle mechanism and the Obsidian using a knob-adjusted dial for finer angle control. Both sharpen blades up to 15 inches and clamp to any work surface with an included C-clamp. At the top of the range, the Generation 4 Pro delivers the most precise and refined sharpening experience Wicked Edge has ever produced — a 12° to 33° angle range per side, 0.05° adjustment increments with the micro-adjust option, the self-tensioning DualCam vise for secure one-step clamping, and three grit packs of premium monocrystalline diamond stones included out of the box. Gen 4 Pro configurations are available with or without the optional storage shelf base for users who want on-board abrasive organization at the bench.
The sharpening system is only as good as the abrasives running on it. DLT stocks the full range of Wicked Edge diamond stone packs across every grit from coarse reprofile work through ultra-fine finishing — 100/200, 200/600, 400/600, 800/1000, 1500/2200, and 2200/3000 paired packs, along with standalone 1500 and 3000 grit blanks. Wicked Edge ceramic micro-fine stones add an even finer refinement step beyond the diamond progression for users chasing mirror-polished edges on high-end steels. The Wicked Edge diamond paste and leather strop pack completes the finishing progression, removing the final burr and polishing the apex to a working sharpness that conventional sharpening compounds and stones struggle to match. Every stone and strop in the Wicked Edge accessory lineup is compatible across the full sharpener range — invest in the stones once, and they'll move with you as your system grows.
