The Edge Pro Apex offers a wide array of abrasive grits and sharpening angles, making it much more flexible in that regard than most clamp and v-rod systems. The cutting speed is also high with the very abrasive nature of the coarse hone and the ability to apply heavy pressure.
The sharpener allows for smooth variation of angle from 10 to 35 degrees per side. Several degree increments are marked out clearly (10,15,18,21,24), but you are not fixed at using these set angles. The aluminum oxide water stones are one inch wide and six inches long. They are mounted securely on the guide rod with use of clamps between plastic molded grips which also serve as protection from the stone slipping off the knife and damaging the edge. As the blanks are not permanently fixed to the guide rod they can easily be used for field freehand honing if desired. The hones can also be reversed to slow down hollowing and the kit includes the following: - 120,220, 320, 600 & 1000 grit water stones - Water bottle - Cleaning cloth - Instruction manual - Instructional DVD - Ceramic Steel and Case - Custom carrying case - FREE Swiss Army Knife by Victorinox.
