## Wicked Edge Generation 4 Pro vise 

The vise has received an upgrade too. The Wicked Edge Gen 4 Pro includes the Wicked Edge DualCam® Vise that you'll also find on the WE66 Obsidian. This vise requires no tools to work, and requires less force than its predecessor. Simply use the lever to clamp the knife into position. No more hassle with hex keys! The dual rotating ridges in the clamp reduce friction and improve leverage. The lower depth keyhole has been replaced by a platform on which the back of the blade rests. The V-shaped notch ensures that even the thinnest knives stay perfectly centred. This vise will keep your knife securely in place. Stability and accuracy are guaranteed! Because you sharpen with two sharpening stones at the same time, you can achieve great results at record speed.

The grain size a supplier gives to its sharpening stones. Please note: This can be either in FEPA-F (European), ANSI (American) or JIS (Japanese). Read [more about the different grain sizes here](/en/ct/expressing-grain-sizes-sharpening-stones.htm).

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).
