- Knife sharpening with the Edge Pro Apex is a very simple process. Our simple design is extremely effective at keeping the angle between the knife and sharpening stone consistent eliminating the biggest obstacle of traditional freehand sharpening. But if you don't understand the basic fundamentals of knife sharpening you will continue to struggle to get good results. In this video we go over in detail:
1) Set up
2) Knife selection for developing your skills
3) Sharpening angles (Pro's and cons of high and low angles)
4) Developing & understanding of the burr
5) Finishing touches
We also sprinkle in a few details where people commonly make mistakes during each of these steps.
Thanks for watching and I hope you find this video helpful.

Wow, great to see your back to making videos!!!
Looking good Cody! Nice to see making new videos. Greatly appreciated!
You bet! I'll be back with more.
Great vid. I have the edgepro professional. Its literally made me sell every other system I've owned
Happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
I’m new to sharpening with the Apex from this spring and having a blast. Way better than any other systems I tried and none of the anxiety. What I did right was picked up a few “decent” knifes from garage sales for a buck or two each and they really helped with honing slow and deliberate muscle memory. Helped with feeling the burr’s too. What I did wrong was taking the time to make a space for it in the garage cupboards. Still have it clamped down on the work bench from day one. Can’t say enough about the great service and advice.
Glad to hear that Mike! Picking up some knives from garage sales is some solid advice. But "decent" is the key word there - not total junkers.
@@EdgePro In Eastern NE a fair number of garage sales are more estate sales. Was able to pick up what could be considered heirloom quality blades in US and Japanese steel from last half of the 1900’s but the wood and rivet handles were past a useful life (likely due to proliferation of automatic dishwashers post purchase). Time saver tip on garage sales…. Lots of kids garments and toys keep driving. Any tools/hunting/fishing/boating stuff worth a stop. A couple tables of kitchen ware and a large sale should stop. Estate auctions are great winners but rarely had the time to wait for its turn on the auction block.
He's back awesome quick guide video!👍
You know it!
We've been missing you. Thanks for showing the Apex. All the bootleg copycats still can't compete. I use the Apex because it works best with my numb hands. Thanks for producing content again.
Often imitated never duplicated. Thanks!
Thank you Cody. Hope too see more videos going forward.
Nice to see a new video, was worried something happened to you guys.
Anyone watching who is new to or just checking out Edgepro know it’s worth it.
Thanks Ken!

Good Video...Thanks
Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
What’s the best stone for a filleting knife ? Also what angle ?
For pocket knives and smaller fixed blade knives, it would be nice if there was a clamping option to hold the knife in place.
It's called the kimbo in Australia, and I've been using the knife back stop as a clamp to hold the knife down😂
Same here. Such a pain clamping and unclaming lol. I should have watched this a year ago ha!
The Kimbo you are referring to is a Chinese copy.
Thanks, I have recently bought an Apex. Very nice product.
But I have a question: is there a benefit to owning the slide guide and the small knife attachement, or do they do double duty? Thanks!
Benoit, great question and sorry for the late reply. The small knife attachment is good for knives under 3" that are also narrow (short distance from spine to edge). The slide guide is good for small - medium sized knives that you are going to keep in one position and sharpen the whole blade without moving. Unfortunately the 2 are not compatible with each-other (yet).
@@EdgePro Thanks, so I will go with the slide guide for now.
Hi Cody, how wide is the professional model slide guide/ table?
Can you offer some tips on sharpening a "parrot beak" small kitchen knife please?
The challenge that these knives present is that the standard sized stone can be too wide to fit inside the curve. For this reason we have a narrower 1/2 inch stone. Otherwise the rest of the process is the same. You can find the 1/2" stones here : www.edgeproinc.com/accessories/sharpening-stones/edge-pro-stones/
@@EdgePro yeah! You're absolutely right! I no longer live in Oregon or in the US for instance. Do you ship to Brazil? Or how long does it usually take to send it to NY?
@@fornalli Yes we do ship to Brazil. We can also ship to NY. It only takes a few days to get a package to NY. Shipping a package to Brazil is a little bit of a crapshoot this time of year, it will get there it just takes a little longer and sometimes runs in to delays. Could take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to arrive. But we have them in stock so there will be no delay on our end.
When you say 21 degree setting, do you mean per side? Or is it overall angle of both sides?
That is 21 degrees per side. This is a general recommendation. It works great most of the time, but of course there is always going to be exceptions. Thick knives you would probably go higher, thin knives you can go lower (more acute) if you want sharper. But there is always a trade off, when you go lower and get sharper the edge is less durable.
@@EdgePro I have some Japanese knives that were sent from the factory at 10 degrees per side, not sure if I could use this for those.
@@dan27052 Yes you could. The Apex adjusts down to 10 degrees. I would recommend double checking the angle setting with a sharpie before sharpening that knife though. 10 degrees is extremely low even for a Japanese knife. Watch this video for reference: th-cam.com/users/shortsfMa-eagYML4
Yo, Cody! Great to see you back!!
Thanks Nathan, it's been awhile! I got a handful of videos I've been wanting to make for a long time . . . I started on this one for a warm up =)
Hey edge pro. I see you’re located in Pacific Northwest ? 541 local here looking for a benchmade tuneup
Might be a challenging one too

Pocket knives on this how well does it work?
It works really well. If you want to see the results it can produce you can take advantage of our free sharpening demo. Send your pocket knife to:

Hood River OR 97031 We will sharpen 1 knife and send it back free of charge.
Edge Pro, the suction cup design is terrible, same with the vacuum style on the professional model. This is a big factor when comparing it to TSPROF models. Also, I wish the Apex came in all aluminum like the pro model and with a heavy base option or have a clampdown base as standard. Anything plastic will not withstand time. For the price, I'd like to think I'm buying a sharpener I could hand down to my grandkids, but not with these materials. The swivel on the Apex is still the best design though.
Thanks for the feedback. We do have a bench mount available for the Apex which allows you to clamp it down to a work surface. www.edgeproinc.com/apex-model-edge-pro-system/apex-bench-mount/ .When the Apex was designed it was intended to be light weight and portable. The vacuum base for the Pro model is surprisingly strong, but does require a smooth surface. I do understand your criticism though, I got something in the works I think you'll like.
Is Kimbo knife sharpener a rip off of this knife sharpener?
Yes it is a Chinese copy and sometimes it goes by different names depending on who the vendor is that is selling it. We have been making these sharpeners since 1989. For authentic Edge Pro products you can visit www.edgeproinc.com
Handsome as fuck.
haha thanks

Sa
Knife steel nerds claim the lower the angle the more durable the edge
I have heard this claim as well. I think for an advanced sharpener with advanced deburring skills and high quality steel their could be some truth to that.
As I understand it the edge retention of an edge sharpened at a lower angle is better when using slicing cuts.
