I've come more to putting convex edges on knives. But for V edges, I've found absolutely nothing better.

This is exactly what I do, convex is on most of my user blades now irrepspective of how they were first made. The Edge Pro its great for kitchen knives and large blades like a Machette or Armageddon type, but some outdoor knives can be tricky due to grinds. There is a simple learning curve with a thin stocked blade like a paring knife, but be careful with a thicker stocked one, especially around the tip.

Still, for 'V' there is nothing better,
 
I have an edge pro and it is a great sharpener,nothing better. But I dont know how people sharpen convex edges??
 
Sorry, maybe it was a little confusing. I (we) meant that we convex our blades now, so there is little use for the E.P

I dont know about Fieldtestornothing but I use the mousepad method to change my knives.
 
I recently bought a new E.P.
I found it easy to use and get some really good results out of it. You can make em so sharp that you must be very careful when shaving the arm hair or you just might take a layer of skin. Hair poppin is a good description.
I have also heard of the mouse pad method. Many people seem to get really good results with it as well.

I use a slack belt sander with a variety of grits. Usually finish on a strop or a ceramic stick depending on what I'm looking for.
 
the edge pro i bought is great. The system gives you percise angles that can be maintained even on a large blade. the only complaint i had was with their stones so i had to do some modification and make some new ones and now can shapen better, twice as fast and with less mess. its a good system.

I love mine, wouldn't be without it. You can put on a professional quality edge first time out of the box.
