The **Wicked Edge Cobalt WE64** is a compact sharpening system from Wicked Edge. It includes two sharpening stones and the DualCam Vise. Compact enough to easily take with you and with the precision you have grown accustomed to from bigger Wicked Edge sharpening systems.

## Wicked Edge Cobalt features:

### The clamp

Let's start with the DualCam Vise. It was updated to make sure you can secure different styles of blades. The clamp has three ‘fingers’ compared to the massive clamp that was a part of the old Wicked Edge GO. As such, the clamp is a little more flexible, enabling it to hold different blades. This clamp even holds flat-grind blades and tapered blades. Attaching the blade is also a lot easier thanks to the lever, which you usually only see on the more expensive Wicked Edge sharpening systems.

### New Angle Slides

The so-called Angle Slides were also completely updated. It still moves smoothly through the base. Checking out the sharpening angle, however, is a lot easier thanks to the arrow in the Angle Slides that point to the degree gauge. Additionally, the mechanism that secures the guide rods to the Angle Slides has also been completely updated. Place the guide rods on the Angle Glides and secure the screw. It secures the guiding rod. As such, removing or replacing the rods is not only easy, it also helps you determine the resistance. You can adjust the resistance to your liking for an even better sharpening experience.

## Wicked Edge Cobalt

The Wicked Edge Cobalt is similar to the Wicked Edge Go sharpening systems. As with the Go, the Cobalt brings the Wicked Edge sharpening systems back to the basics. Just the knife clamp, the guiding rods with adjustable angle and a combination sharpening stone. You don't need anything else to sharpen your knives to razor-sharpness.

## Wicked Edge Cobalt sharpening stones

The Wicked Edge Cobalt includes two double-sided diamond-coated sharpening stones with grit sizes 200 and 600. These are American grit sizes, so they are finer than you are used to from Japanese stones with the same number. With the 200 side you can sharpen blunt knives. With these diamond-coated sharpening stones you can quickly restore the edge of your knife. The 600 grit side refines the cutting edge. You could also complete your set with more [Wicked Edge sharpening stones](/en/ct/wicked-edge-sharpening-stones.htm).

## Setting the Wicked Edge Cobalt sharpening angle

Both guide rods are infinitely adjustable in angle. From approx. 13 degrees up to 31 degrees depending on the height of your knife. You loosen the knob and simply slide it through the profile. Using a marker, mark the edge to then find the right angle. Read more about [sharpening angles and how to find them using the 'marker trick' here](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

The Wicked Edge Cobalt comes with an iron C-clamp. With this, you clamp it to a table or worktop so that it remains securely in place. The Wicked Edge Cobalt is also enhanced with two countersunk screw holes. These allow you to screw the Wicked Edge to your workbench or the Wicked Edge Aluminium base permanently.

## The Wicked Edge Cobalt is compatible with the following accessories

All Wicked Edge sharpening stones and strops, the low angle, scissors and chisel adapters, DualCam© Vise for 1/4"" knives, the Advanced Alignment Guide, Safety Shields, aluminium base for the WE60 sharpeners and the case for WE60 sharpeners.

Grit according to supplier

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).
