It’s made from high quality, aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel. The GO is designed to be portable and can be used anywhere.

Let me start by saying that I have only sharpened 2 knives on my Wicked Edge GO so far. Both knives came out great but the stones do need some more sharpenings before they break in real good.
The supplied 200/600 grit stones will put a good working edge on a knife. Both of the knives I sharpened on this unit will slice cleanly through printer paper. They will also both shave arm hair but not as easily as I would like. I’m pretty confident that a 600 grit edge on this unit will be a little sharper once the stones break in.
The 2 knives that I sharpened so far were knives that I wouldn’t have been too upset if I ruined but honestly, the Wicked Edge is so easy to use that I could have sharpened any of my good knives the very first time. I don’t recommend that. Just my own personal observation.
I’m glad I finally bought this and I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long. I’ll probably buy some finer stones just to add a little adventure to my sharpening sessions but I honestly don’t need them. The 200/600 grit stones do fine and I suspect that they will only get better.
I’ll add that a Digital Angle Cube is a must have. The angle settings on the base of the unit are not precise due to variations in blade sizes but an Angle Cube will ensure that you are always sharpening at the desired angle regardless of the blade size.
This is a serious sharpening tool. Having used it only twice so far, I can see that already and I look forward to tapping into its full potential eventually.
