EdgePro Professional. It does all my work and does it at a fair clip. I can reprofile and have a mirror polished edge that is symetrical on both sides in about 25-30 minutes.

I guess I'm old fashioned but after I wound up smacking my BattleRat against the cement sub-flooring in my room, I just used a ceramic rod (freehand) to put the edge back on it.

i use a ceramic stick and a strop !!

I have learnt to use a 8 inch sharpening stone really well on big knives - i have this cool technique but its impossible to explain !!

Hey!

My camp tramp has chopped through many logs without loosing its sharpness. But I usually use the mousepad-wet/dry sandpaper method. If you've heard about that. Gets it hairpopping sharp and keeps the convex edge.
Just put the sandpaper on the mousepad and pull the edge in a slightly rotating movement over the paper (I've used 1000 - 1200 grit). Great method - and as I said - it becomes scary sharp. And the best part - it's easy!
I read about it here on the forums somewhere. Try it, it might work for you too.
