Product Description
Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpening system 1 includes: Apex Sharpener, 220 Grit Medium Fine and 400 Grit Fine Water stones; Instructional Manual; Cloth & Water bottle enclosed in a black Cordura Carrying case. The Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpener is a patented guided sharpening system and will sharpen any size or shape blade ( up to 3.5" wide ), including serrated knives. It is manufactured from the highest quality US materials in Hood River, Oregon, US. It's simple system for setting angles means your 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. Sharpening at the exact same angle means you remove far less metal than electric sharpeners or grinders, eliminating wavy edges, adding to the life and performance of your knives. It removes nicks and dings without distorting the knife edge since and since it creates no heat - will not damage the temper of your knives. It comes with custom formulated water stones that free you from messy, gummed - up oil stones - they are long lasting and inexpensive to replace. The stones are mounted to an aluminum plate that locks securely into the holder - and changing stones is easily completed with a simple twist of the knob. The sharpener stores in the included cordura carrying case makes it very easy very portable and easy to store. Move it to your location and set it up in seconds on any smooth surface - no power required. The Apex requires no maintenance other than routine cleaning. Patented Knife guide system does not clamp the blade. Continuously adjustable sharpening angles, marked at 10, 15, 18, 21, and 24 degrees.

Well I watched the Edge Pro you tube a few times, looked at all the reviews here and plunged in.
What I discovered (provided you watch the video and read the short instructions) is that this tool is actually easy to use! I was concerned the left handed operation would be difficult but it isn't (at least not for me).
I had 7 quality kitchen knives, everything from a chef's knife to a serrated bread knife to a paring knife. They were not horrible, just not getting good results - nothing would slice a ripe tomato.
Using the 200 and 400 stones I was able to do these 7 knives in about 90 minutes. And I was able to slice paper as in the video. And tomatoes are a breeze!
It's smaller and lighter tan it looks and the carry bag is perfect.
I bought Chosera stones for the system and couldn't be happier with that decision. You can buy more advanced systems from Edge Pro with their stones, but all the research I have done lead me to Chosera. I think it was the right call. This package comes with a 220 and 400 grit stone, great for the first step and getting your blade back to straight and ready to take an edge. From there I bought the 1000, 3000, 5000, and 10000 grit Chosera stones. WOW! Every knife I have sharpened so far has come to a mirror edge and is razor sharp. Seriously, like easily shaves arm hair sharp. I have sharpened different metals on various knives (kitchen and pocket knives), all with the same, razor sharp results.
The reason for giving the Edge Por only 4 stars is because you have to hold the knife. This system does not have a mechanism that holds the knife for you like others. I am right handed and when I sharpen the left side of the blades, I have to hold the knife handle with my right hand and sharpen with my left. This is a little awkward and slower than doing the other side. Also, this increases the chances for cutting yourself if you slip of drop the knife somehow. I have never done that, but can see how it might happen.
Edge pro does sell a magnet that attaches under the system and claims to hold the knife in place. I attached my own magnet, which does hold the knives, but they do move around a little as you move on to large knives. I just don't think that is the best solution, though it does help a lot and allows you to just support the knife a little rather than have to hold it entirely. For the cost of the system, I wish the magnet was just built in rather than an accessory. That of have a mechanism that holds the knife in place while sharpening. That would make this the perfect sharpening system.
