EDGE PRO APEX PRO KNIFE SHARPENING SYSTEM, #2
Perfect for the Kitchen or workshop. Every sportsman needs one. Finally, the superior quality of hand sharpening is combined with the precision of a finely engineered machine. Tested and refined for years on over 100,000 knives.
The Edge Pro Apex Sharpening System is ideal for the serious knife enthusiast, professional chef or serious home cook who wants the benefits of manual sharpening with traditional whetstones, but with the control and convenience of a guided system with perfect and fully adjustable angle control. This allows you to manually set the angle on each and every knife in your collection, so you can set a super fine edge on your slicers and Japanese knives, and a stronger and more durable edge on your German knives and choppers. It gives you the benefits of sharpening stones, because it IS sharpening stones, but instead of a guide system moving over a stone, you simply pivot the stone over the knife, for better control (and safety). An excellent system, made from quality materials in Hood River, Oregon, USA, so the quality is superb -- no copy-cat junk here.
EdgePro Apex Features:

- Simple system determines the best angle. 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.
- Custom formulated water stones free you from messy, gummed up oil stones. Long lasting and inexpensive to replace. Easy to change with a simple twist of the knob.

If you are interested in creating a polished edge (like the kind found on some Japanese knives such as most Misono knives), then you can add the 1000 grit ultrafine stone, and if you want a super polished edge for a mirror finish, go for a polish tape blank and polish tapes. If you have seriously dull or damaged blades and need to remove a lot of metal quickly, then you can add the 120 grit Coarse stone.
