Looking to get some advice with regard to sharpening systems....new to the activity and challenged with using a stone. I was looking for some recommendations and Pro's/ Cons with regard to the following: Tormek, Wicked Edge or Edge Pro Apex......looking for use on Busse's and general utility/kitchen type of knives. Feedback greatly appreciated---looking to pull the trigger within a week.

Much Thanks

If you use the advanced search here, and type in the name of the sharpening system you are interested in, you should get tons of threads that have a lot of information on those sharpening systems.
 
I'm a total newbie to knife sharpening, and have really struggled trying to figure it out in the past... right up until I last week when I got my Edge Pro Apex. I've done three knives on it so far, with the last being hair shaving sharp. I also love how easy it is to polish the edge to a mirror finish.

So while there's been a learning curve, and I still have a long way to go until I can confidently say I'm proficient, I am already producing very serviceable beautiful edges.

I can't speak to the others since I've never used them, but from one newbie to another, I don't think you can go wrong with the Apex. I hope that helps.

PS: I learned pretty quick that the "drill stop" addition to the Apex is pretty much a must. If you go with it, add the collar from the get go.
