Excellent, thank you very much. I'll try to get the software working, and if I manage to, I'll let you know. It seems that Vadim had developed a formula that takes into account the metal removed during sharpening in order to adjust the angle for stropping. It's a small improvement, but one that seems interesting to optimize the BESS score.

Have a great week, and thanks again for your response.

Hello, a few days ago I bought the angle calculators that Vadim sells on his website and that are still available. I'm not able to open the software—my computer tells me to contact the owner of the application, which, as you can imagine, is impossible. I was wondering if any of you are still using his calculator, and if so, how do you get it to work? Thanks in advance.

I agree with you.

A few years ago I bought his book and it is indeed an incredible resource.

Thank you for your help and above all, happy sharpening.

The site is functional again, thank you all.

Thank you for your answers. Indeed, I don't know if one day another person so dedicated to his art and so generous in teaching it will see the light of day.

I managed to contact Daniel, his son whom I thank enormously (Thank you cbwx34). It will resolve the issue and within a week or two the site should be back online. Thus, a trace of Vadim's existence will still be available for a while.

Thank you for answering me.

Hello, Vadim Kraichuk's site has been made inaccessible. Like many of you, I learned a lot from him. In order to honor his work which he has made accessible on his site, I would like to pay out of my own pocket so that the site comes back online. I managed to find the host of the site, however, I need authorization from the owner (Vadim, who is dead and therefore cannot give it to me..) or authorization from his family . So I need to get in touch with her. So I'm asking if any of you could help me with this. I would like to honor Vadim's work.

We have to act quickly, since I don't know how long the information will be stored before being deleted.

You can contact me on my email address: (I hope I have permission to post it here?). steven.st-pierre2@usherbrooke.ca

ps: Forgive me if my text seems strange to you, I am translating it from French to English.
