I know this should probably be posted somewhere else, but this is where I'm at most and I've seen several of you hogs and piglets using the EdgePro... so here goes.

Why EdgePro Apex over the Lansky system??? :confused: :confused:

IMHO Edge Pro is much easier to use.

I spent a long time trying to master the Lansky system, and ended up giving it to my brother while I returned to my Razor Edge system.

Recently I discovered the Edge Pro, and for me the difference is night and day.

Probably the biggest advantage for me is that you don't have to mess with clamps on the Edge Pro. You rest your knife on the table, and are ready to go in a few moments. And if you need to adjust your knife to sharpen a different spot, you simply lift the stone and slide your knife into the new position.

Lansky is a great system, don't get me wrong . . . I just think that Edge Pro is easier and more efficient to use.
 
I agree with Strobengh ;)

I have both systems. And once you get used to the EdgePro it's much easier to operate. It will take some time though to learn to be real ambidextrous. The clampsystem of the Lansky is also less accurate especially with larger blades if you dont want to re-clamp each time (like me :o).
 
I agree with both above. However, there is one I am interested in using that Ian is a big fan of. I for get the name but will go find out. In that system you do not touch the knife once the angle is set unlike the edge pro.

Tyrkon, do you, maybe, mean the EZE-sharp system??
 
I like the EZE - Have a hard time clamping flat-grind blades - the angle varies slightly from side to side. So I labeled one side of the clamp 'right' and one side 'left' and I put all the blades in that way -regardless of grind type - to keep the angles somewhat the same between sharpenings...

If anyone else has this problem, let me know your fix, please.

Thanks!

I just used the Edge Pro on my BATAC and it didn't take much work to get back to being scary sharp.

TL... you're part of what prompted this thread. ;)

That's some edge you put on that BA... very nice!!!

Who is selling the Eze in the US??? I can't seem to find anyone except Knives and Tools in the Netherlands...

Thanks and it is only made possible via an Edge Pro. Freehand, on the other hand, I need some practice. :o

Ya know, TL - you'd have an easier time if you'd stop hammering that Badger into stuff.

Where'd be the fun in that. ;) Seriously, I think my Badger has done its duty. Back to regular chores and on to the next victim. :)
 
I do that to some of my users with an Edge Pro. Then for some time, depending on usage, I just steel them or hit them with a strop and they come right back. Overall though, I greatly prefer a full convex edge. :thumbup:
