Edge Pro & Cody provide the best costumer service and always have time to answer this newbie's questions. I am waiting patiently to get my Buck 110 back. Thank you Cody for sharpening my 110 and making a vid that is filled with lots & lots of useful information. Thank you.
Hi Cody, I'm not very well versed in knife sharpening lingo/ maintenance so as I'm watching some of your videos I wonder if you can tell me which surface knife companies use as their main reference for their sharpening angle because if you rest the knife on the face to do the sharpening it would be a different angle than if you rested it in the flat am I correct?! Please explain if I'm misunderstanding
Hi, I think we might have just spoke on the telephone. But in case that wasn't you - if there was an imaginary line down the center of the spin out to the edge would really be the best place to measure the angle from. The angles on our system are measured from the blade table to the stone. When you rest on the flat of a knife, . . . it's pretty close (but not perfect). When you rest on the face of the blade you're sharpening at a lower angle than your setting reads but it will vary from knife to knife. There are a lot of variables to take in to account so I try not to get too hung up on nailing a specific angle EXACTLY, instead I just do my best to match the bevel that is already on a knife. Then on future sharpenings I'll raise or lower the angle accordingly based on how the knife performs.
I ran mine at exactly 17° all the way to 12,000 grit. Then stropped it to a mirror polish. So you can still say sharpest in the North West because I'm in Tennessee. 🤣
Mine is the sharpest in the southern states. My father thought me when I was 9 yrs old. And all I use is a wet stone and leather strap. Buck knives allways take a razor edge. The 110 and 119 are American classics.
Nice work on the sharpening. The magnet seems like a great addition. Does the exact placement change the end result that much? It seems some of the other sharpeners really lean into the rotating clamp system.
Blade Banter, There is some forgiveness in not getting the knife placed in the EXACT location everytime, but it does need to be close. What's most important is that you rest on the same SURFACE each time whether it be the face or the flat. In regards to the clamp systems, they have advantages and disadvantages. On some knives they work great, but a lot of knives are just not clamp friendly or don't clamp straight. Ben always told me this . . . I didn't believe him so I bought one to prove him wrong (I was trying to convince him we need to build a clamp system). But in the end he ended up proving me wrong. It wasn't the first time I was wrong and he was right and I'm sure it won't be the last. -Cody
@@EdgePro Nice thanks for the detailed response and it's great that the system proved to be more than effective without the clamp. I personally haven't experienced the system, just from reviews.
Zack, We offer a 1 free knife sharpening demo for people who are interested in our knife sharpeners and want to see the kind of results it can deliver. But we do not do knife sharpening as a service.
hey my name is Jonathan I just recently got a bag pocket knife. I want to talk to someone on here to see if I could get some help with sharpening mine? If someone could respond and let me know how I can get in touch that would be great thank you.
Edge Pro Inc. if I put my email on here would you be able to send me an email? I am using voiceover on my iPhone but it is not pronouncing everything correctly for your email.
Try sharpening free hand its hard but I can get the egxact same edge but it takes years to do right my best advice is when you start don't use a very expensive blade it took me years to do right remember there literally hundreds of ways to sharpen a knife

Great sharpener and excellent customer service!
Great tips Cody...thanks
Those tips at the beginning literally made me realise I used the apex for years! Thanks!
Another great video, keep em' coming!
Cody is the Man
Awesome guy. Really cares about his customers.
Great info on a great knife. I recently started a channel and began it taking a look at the 110, a classic. Thanks for the video!
Wow that is a nice shine on the cutting edge
The ricaso and flat is a great tip Cody. That’s what I do if possible. These are the tips newcomers need, no matter how obvious
I gotta get myself a magnet setup! And a demagnetizer. Lol. Love the system and your videos are always helpful.
Great job cody!
Thanks! Hope your knee is feeling better.
If I didn't carry a Old Timer 340T, then it was a Buck, great vid Cody
