Knife Sharpening
« Reply #-1 on: October 28, 2012, 10:53:58 PM »
At the Fall Gathering I talked about the knife sharpening system I bought several years ago.  I plan to bring mine to next year’s Gathering to show how easy it is to use.  In the mean time, here is the web site to see what the Apex Model Edge Pro System is all about.  Check out the videos to see how it works.  Don’t let the price scare you off.  It is an investment worthy of your knives.

Art..I can bring knives for you to practice on. My hubby does all mine..I take them to him and let him do his thing..He does a great job. I haste dull knives..that is where I get into trouble. I do use a steel and a ceramic steel myself. Or the bottom of  ceramic cups gets a few swipes too. Pammie  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I've seen a smaller version of that I believe at Academy. Has like 3 stones all on rods which you then use a guide to get a perfect edge. My brother has one.

Art, that looks like a great system. When I decided to buy Shun knives several years ago, there were two major reasons - first, they are sharp (the bevel is 16* which is sharper than european knives) and will filet my thumbnail when I am not careful. And second, they offer free lifetime sharpening (yes I do have to pay postage both ways.) It has already paid for itself by "fixing" a knife my wife put in the dishwasher. But, if I didn't have the Shuns, I would pick up this kit in a heartbeat! I may yet for my field knives.

Thanks for the tip!

David I have a set of knives made by Shun. They are the Japanese version of Shuns. And after quite some use I still have yet needed to sharpen them. I just hit them with the honing steel and they are good to go again.

I noticed this morning that it must be time to "touch up" a few of my knives.  It really is worth the cost.

I've heard nothing but good things about Apex. I'm going to try to see if I can become a dealer for them...

I don't think you can go wrong.

I have had this kit for awhile. It will make anything sharp. The higher quality the steel in the knife the longer it will stay sharp. Worth the money. If you buy it watch the videos. It is easy to not do it correctly and still get a sharp knife. Done correctly they are scary sharp!

This is the knife I sharpened using a Apex. I borrowed from a friend



The edge before and then after. The sharpie marks shows the  same area of the blade is being shown.





Compare with a new Shun knife right out of the box

Is that your first time? Wow very nice. I am still learning his product but it is amazing.

Q: What angle did you do your knife at?
