I noticed Wicked Edge introduced a hard case for their Wicked Edge Go knife sharpening system, but it was expensive for just a case. I checked online and the case size was pretty standard as far as hard cases go and Pelican Cases that size were … $150! A quick check of Harbor Freight and Northern Tool found an on-sale case from Northern Tool for 20% of the brand name case price. Score!
Does our pick-n-pluck version have custom-cut foam? No. Does it still hold three sets of stones, the base, the C-clamp, the arms, the small tools, a Sharpie, and the alignment guide? Yes!
You can see the DIY result below. If I did it again, I would place the base after fitting the stones, clamp, and arm. I tried following the layout from the manufacturer but the foam got too “thin” and a redesign was required. I think I like the DIY layout better than the original.
Either way, it works!
