For the grips: I took the grips off of the knife and clamped them to my work bench. Before that I made some index marks while they were still on the knife so both grips were close to matching. I did one at a time, and it took about 1.25 hrs.
As far as the "Wicked Edge" goes it is a precision sharpening system. It is by far the best knife sharpener I have ever owned or even used...absolutely love it. A bit pricey, but buy once cry once...ya' know?
