I recently switched from a Wicked Edge to an Edge Pro Professional. It took me about 5 knives to get a feel how my hands wanted to do each job and after about 20 or so I feel I am about equally good with my dominant hand as my off hand for either aspect of the work. I think the thing that helped most with my sharpening consistency as I moved from side to side and stone to stone was to make some sort of indexing mark on each side of the spine of the knife that I would align with the edge of the knife stop and then bring the belly/tip of the knife to cover the table. Of course this only works with pocket knives you don't need to move. Using a sharpie marker occasionally as a sanity check for your angle compensation is also smart. The nice thing about the Edge Pro is that it has really taught me the importance of not bearing down with my stones. You're not going to have a good time if you death grip the knife and the stone arm. Relaxing and using as little pressure as necessary with both hands gives you a better feel for the sharpening process and a more consistent result.

@@707SonomaComa Hey man. Yeah, my opinion is still the same. It's a really nice machine but I think it's kind of in an unhappy middle ground. I found that the sear size of the machine made sharpening smaller knives difficult: the size of the machine and the position in which the knife is held makes it hard to see how the bevel is developing. On the other hand, if you are sharpening a really big edge, then you have to watch out for the blade flexing or worse, loosing track of where the tip is. In short, if I was only going to sharpen pocket knives, I'd probably stick with something like a KME (you can absolutely get results as good as Wicked Wedge on this) and if I was looking to sharpen a really varied selection of edges, I would get an Edge Pro

Actually, bought some for an A/C job and it's worthless for that because it is not foil tape(though it does look like it it is metalized mylar), but for knife prep it is amazing just because of it's excellent waterproof adhesion, toughness, and it is super thin to boot. Oh and it's also easily applied to the blade, and it pays to take it past the blade all the way to the handle for protection of the handle...again, this is not aluminum foil tape it is like metalized mylar and so super thin and easily formed it rocks! win win give it a shot

I talked to Gayle Bradley on the phone a few years ago probably 8 years ago about that he said he talked to another knife maker and one of them does the show side of the blade very well and the other one did the reverse side very well they each had a side they didn't do so well and they joked that they should get together and sharpen knives lol but I do the same thing the show side of the blade I do very well in the other side I have to be very very careful and I still make mistakes on it of the getting the angle perfect I can still get the knife sharp but the angles aren't exactly the same on each side but I have got a good angle on both sides so I can still get it sharp enough that I'm very happy with and it's very good but I'm a work in progress.. I did ruin a lot of good knives when I first got back into knife collecting about 10 years ago after having strokes. I had to relearn everything from the beginning and I wish I would have had that advice of getting some crappy steak knives and ruining those instead of Pro-Tech and other expensive knives I didn't ruin them to the point that they were junk but I definitely made a convex bevel back then before I knew what I was doing wrong I wasn't taking my time and getting it right I didn't have the mental capacity to do that. I should have sent them to you to have them worked right but anyway those knives are gone.

I respect your work and the amount of knowledge regarding sharpening, but with all due respect you don't know all. The free hand sharpeners are a rare breed who know their business, and they don't need fancy, expensive gear to sharpen a knife. Just because you had to deal with some people that didn't know what to do and messed up their blades it doesn't mean that free hand sharpeners are idiots who don't have a clue. Personally I have never used sharpening gear like yours and don't need. Depending on the blade I use three or two stones before stroping and if I want to remove some steel to make a convex I use a water stone grinder. I even convex knives free hand. I can do it in the field if I need to. Takes a little more time depending on the steel but it's doable. Too bad I can't show you my blades. Best regards from France.

@@TheApostleP thank you for clarification, indeed free hand sharpening is the most rewarding. I forgot to mention that my free hand sharpening differs from yours. I use a flat diamond stone and push the knife against only to restore unfinished or asymmetrical plunge grinds otherwise I sharpen the knives holding the blade in one hand with the cutting edge facing upward and the stone in the other. Gives me total liberty and I don't depend on flat surfaces to perform my sharpening. In the field it's excellent. I am doing this since I was young and people who know me are cautious when they use knives sharpened by me because they cut themselves especially those who are butchers and use their knives 10-12 hours a day.

Also it would be nice for you to do a video on once you profile and get what you consider a perfect edge how do you maintain and sharpen it going forward. For example do you only touch up the micro bevel or both bevels. What stones do you use for maintenance ? Maybe a very detailed video on how to keep them sharp once you get them all dialed in the first time. I think I have watched all your apex sharpening video's and they are very good. Thank You

As a freehand sharpener who's been doing convex edges lately: Variation has been a marketing argument by fixed angle systems for some time. They often take it to rediculous lengths, making it sound like the angle will change more and more with each freehand sharpening until one day you find yourself cutting a 90 degree angle on your stones and wondering why your edge won't cut. Of course, this is silly on the face of it, but I think people have this notion in their heads now that the variation of freehand sharpening will compound, rather than always staying within a certain range. With a convex edge, the most obtuse you want to go is the desired angle of your cutting edge. Everything else is shaping the approach to the apex. I pick the edge angle by feeling with my hand at what angle I want the blade to start to bite in, and that's the most obtuse angle I use. Do I vary by a degree give or take between sharpenings? Probably. But never more than that, because that comfortable angle at which I want the knife to bite in is always pretty much the same.

Two other topics that just hit me I (and I presume others) could really use some help on: 1. What, if any, compensations need to be made for traditional knives with blades at an odd angle from the handle (think Swiss Army Knives and Congress-style traditionals that nest their blades at diagonal angles)? 2. What methods do you use for blades that are extremely thin and narrow? I already own the EP Short-blade attachment, but it's not enough for blades like the Victorinox Mini Classic or a Peanut or Tiny Toothpick traditional (or the small secondary blades on a host of other traditional patterns). Even after removing the plastic clip, the stone strikes the top forward edge of the blade rest, not the blade itself. I read something in the EP documentation about constructing some sort of shim to lay between the blade and the EP's blade table, but my efforts cannibalizing credit cards and taping them together have gone poorly to say the least.

Thanks so much for putting together these videos, Rob. Your advice and experiences have heavily informed my progression in the art of sharpening over the past 3 years to a tremendous degree. A number of things you share in this video are things I've already learned the hard way, but I'd like to add to one in particular to hopefully spare others my anguish: when doing a choil extension with the Dremel, HOLD THE KNIFE WITH BOTH HANDS AT ALL TIMES!!! I straight-up ground off large chunks of the edge of a Kershaw Cryo 2 and an ESEE Candiru as they ran away from me because I had another hand doing something else at a time. The Candiru was thankfully salvageable (although it has a profoundly jacked up bevel reveal now), the Cryo 2 I just gave up and made a massive forward finger choil out of it (surprisingly ergonomic, actually). I know it's been a couple weeks, but if you're still taking comments/requests, I still have one significant issue you didn't really address here: On almost every blade I've done with a microbevel, the edge is quite sharp when fresh but dulls within just a couple weeks and stropping/honing only brings it back to a relatively pale shadow of its original sharpness. I've tried a number of different maintenance techniques and am about as confident as I can be that I am indeed stropping and honing the micro and not just polishing the primary. The only thing I can think that I might be doing wrong is too much discrepancy between my primary and micro angles (I've done a few AUS-8 and 8Cr blades at 17 Primary, 21 Micro and a Sheepsfoot 154CM Mini-Grip at 15/20). Because of this, I've basically given up on microbevels in all but the hardest-use case and instead pursue a more conservative single bevel. This works, but I can't help thinking this still isn't how it's supposed to be. Any insight you could provide on what I may be doing wrong would be exceedingly appreciated. Again, thank you so much for doing these videos. There's frustratingly little out there going into the specifics of how to bring edges to the next level - particularly on these systems - and especially the pitfalls inherent with them. I am extremely grateful I started off just doing $10-$20 knives before moving on to more expensive stuff because I did absolutely ruin more than a couple. You are directly responsible for re-kindling my decade-dead passion for knives and moving into the joy and challenge of the sharpening experience.

One issue that I have had to learn to focus on, is when using a sharpener that has a clamp, especially when sharpening a full flat ground blade, is making sure you get the blade centered perfectly in the clamp, or else you end up with one side having a steeper angle than the other

My first 940 came out like the first one shown: incredibly wide bevel with a gigantic heel.

Lots of helpful info esp. the sharpie trick between grits. Maybe a video on which to use the tang or the flats on different knives and how to hold consistently for even sharpening.

Why not take the blade out, so you don't mess up the scales?
