Watch the Murray Carter video's. He's WON actual sharpening competitions using 1000 and 6000 grit King waterstones and newspaper. You can buy a 1000/6000 grit stone for $40-$80 depending on the size.
With Sharpening, Skills are more important than the tools.
Yes, thats true but I just don't trust myself on the more expensive folders yet... Check out Micheal Christy channel, he also use handheld Diastone and turn any bevel into hair whittling sharp. |

You just need better stones for the edge pro. If you want fast try the diamond stones from Chef knives to go. The Shaptons are extra nice......
I have diamond stones already, it's the setup that seems slow to me. I guess if you liked that kind of thing you'd be good to go, but I feel it's already a chore and don't want it to be 5 times as long as I need it to be. I had bought the Benchmade Kitchen knive set for my mom and she dulled them. I hauled the Edgepro over, but once there figured I'd rather sit down, have a highball and visit. Tossed the edgepro in the corner. Now I see that kit stuffed in the corner everytime I go over. |
