Sharpening newbie

Successfully put nice edges on a cheap Kershaw and then a user Sebenza with my new (-ish) Sharpmaker before I decided to undertake a rebevel and edge job on an ELMAX ZT0566.

Wow, what a PITA that is! I'm not sure if rebeveling with the Sharpmaker is this much of a chore (I was using the diamond rods) or if ELMAX is just that difficult to work with, but I don't think I'll be doing that again. Going to be using the Sharpmaker for standard resharpening from here on out, but if I decide to put a back bevel on something, I think I just need to look into getting something more robust.

I've had a Sharpmaker for awhile and got a little deformation on the curve of the 0566 that I was getting annoyed by. Added an Edge Pro (kit 1, $165 from KSF) and pretty quickly worked out the deformation. After that, I finished the edge on the fine Sharpmaker rods and a strop. I think I'll soon add finer stones for the Edge Pro, but I'm already happy with it.
