Product Information

Edge Pro also offers a range of ceramic honing rods for ongoing maintenance between sharpening these are a great sharpening tool for knives. Guided angle sharpeners in a lot of cases are glorified jigs, a device that you mount the knife in and can then apply an accurate angle on a stone to the edge bevel of the blade to create a consistent edge. Obviously there are many ways to skin a cat, and knife sharpeners vary wildly in construction, design and price. One commonality all sharpeners have – they start at a coarse (low grit) abrasive to remove metal the fastest and set the profile of the edge, and gradually progress to higher grit (fine) abrasives to refine that edge as accurately as possible, including leveling out the burr that develops when you sharpen one side at a time.

Ideally the angle would not be so shallow near the tip, but a lot of that was because of the past damage. Even so, that’s a thin tip and does worry me. I doubt I can get the profile correct on this knife without making the blade a decent bit shorter. We obtain the products we review through either buying them ourselves or working with companies to obtain review units. We spend a lot of time talking about knives here, and not a lot of time talking about knife maintenance. Knives are fairly simple to maintain, though: keep the body screws tight, keep the lint out of them, oil the pivot, set the pivot screw, clean the tape goo off the blade – oh, and keep them sharp. Not so simple. Totally different from the other sharpeners on this list, the Tormek T-4 is more a piece of industrial equipment and less a hobbyist sharpener. The T-4 uses an 8” Aluminum Oxide sharpening stone that rotates on a 120w/230V electric motor. The bottom of the stone rests in a water trough that keeps the edge of the stone lubricated while it’s turning, which both cleans the stone and cools the item being sharpened (avoiding overheating it and ruining the tempering.) The standard stone with the Tormek is approximately 220 grit; using the stone grading tool (including) smooths it out to around 1000 grit for fine finishing. Once you’ve got a clean edge grind, use the built in leather strop wheel to straighten out the burr, and you’ve got a scary sharp knife.

The Edge Pro Knife Sharpening system is one of the first guided sharpening systems / fixed angle knife sharpeners and the Edge Pro Professional kit has become a popular sharpener for beginners and experts, we advise against knife sharpener electric systems. Standard inclusions with the Apex kits are as follows As I have been using the Apex, I have fallen in love with it. It is fast and easy to use. I have gotten to the point where I am starting to really put some wear on the stones themselves. All of my newer knives I have managed to maintain the factory angle for the most part but add a mirror finish to each blade. Test with paper to determine how sharp the blade is. This also tells me what it might be in need of. You basically want a clean and effortless cut that easily slices through a loosely held sheet of paper. Clean: if there is no nasty tape residue, I clean with Dawn soap and water. If there is tape residue, Goof Off gel spray and wipe clean. Then I rinse with Dawn and water to get the slime from the Goof Off to go away.Now, mirror edges are cool and all, but what about edge retention? After all that is what led me down this rabbit hole. If feeling insanely dull, then: Edge Pro Apex. I use the bench clamp accessory and the small blade attachment for most of my knives. From there I work from 400/600 (400 if I have not used it on the Apex, otherwise 600 after I set the angle of the Edge Pro) all the way to the polishing tapes. That gives me a clean mirror finish on the blade. The Edge Pro Apex 1 knife sharpener kit is a patented wet stone sharpening system that will sharpen any size or shape blade (up to 3 ½" wide), including serrated knives. Knives can be sharpened at exactly the same angle every time, making re-sharpening so fast you will never work with a dull blade again. The Edge Pro Apex stones in our wet stone sharpening kits have been custom formulated to free you from messy, gummed-up oil stones. They last a long time and are inexpensive to replace. The Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpening System will remove far less metal than electric sharpeners or grinders, eliminating wavy edges and adding to the life and performance of your knives. For quite some time, I have advocated either waterstones, or the Spyderco Sharpmaker for sharpening your knives. It was the exact setup I used, and it was only recently that I realized there was something much better which is still cost effective out there. This is that story… Edge Pro knife sharpening system offers two sharpener variants, The Edge Pro Apex and the Pro models.
