Which Edge Pro first?

All you really need is the Apex sharpener and some extra of the course stones which will wear away much faster than the others. The only way you'd need the Pro model is if you plan to sharpen for others and use it more as a business tool than a personal one.

If you can afford it, the "Pro" is a lot more convenient to use, IMHO.

And of course, there are "bragging rights" to consider! :p
 
Joking aside, while I have sharpened chisels, as has any woodworker or woodcarver, I've never sharpened scissors. I don't think I'd even recognize dull scissors as dull. I'd probably just think they were poor quality scissors. Does anybody other than hair dressers and seamstresses ever notice dull scissors?

I remember when I was a kid (I mean pre-teen kid) seeing my little old grandmother cutting some sandpaper with scissors. She used to sew clothing for all the grandkids. She said she was sharpening them. (The scissors, not the grandkids.) I hadn't thought about that in all this time; this thread made me remember that. I wonder if that really works or just an old wive's tale.

I have a slot gadget in my collection made by Fiskars designed to sharpen scissors but after trying a pair before and after didn't notice any difference. Double slots. The instructions say just push the scissors through and 'cut them off' which slides the device down the blade and off. I wonder...

You'll want a 120,220,320, 600 and 1000 stone, before the glass mount and the 3000 tape.

The fine diamond is a good investment if you do much re-profiling.

I just ordered the EdgePro Pro 3kit and added spare 120, fine diamond stones, spare 300 tape and the silicon carbide powder for levelling any of the stones.
This should do me for a while.
