Edge Pro vs Electric for Busse

[resinguy]

Edge Pro can do long/large blades. Tyrkon Lawson did his AK47 with one.

KMG makes an excellent sharpener

Has anyone used the Spyderco sharpener on their Busse blades???

i've done an 18" ang khola - and it's an entirely different kind of beast then the ak47.

the benefit of the slim swords is that the table rest can accommodate them from spine to edge, so all you have to do is keep the handle and blade level with the table.

when you get into things that are larger then 3" from spine to edge, the edgepro can't do anythingwith them using the table, because the blade can't rest flat on any part of it. without that, your basically hand sharpening. axes, khukuries, and some machete's are just a no go on the edge pro table.

if you mean the sharpmaker, then yes. don't bother with it, it's a lot of work and not that great. i'd rather use sandpaper.

Agreed whole heatedly! The sharpmaker is OK for my SAK's but that's about all.

Since I have the HF belt grinder, I don't use the Sharpmaker much, but it is nice for finishing a blade with a microbevel
