SHORTCUT to RE-sharpen your knives!

- Save your stones, save yourself time, and save your knives by eliminating unnecessary steps when you are re-sharpening your knives. If you've ground a consistent bevel in to your knife once, you shouldn't have to do it every time you want to bring the edge back.

This is great advice. Never remove more metal than you have to. Sometimes I'll even overlook a nick or a chip in the edge rather than grind it completely away and reduce the life of the knife. Even if I'm sharpening for someone else, I'll sometimes let these imperfections continue to exist and simply explain to the owner that I chose to do so rather than take away too much metal, and that if they keep returning to me when the knife needs sharpened, that imperfection will work itself out over time. They usually appreciate that information and the care taken, especially with a more expensive knife. After all, you can always take more off, you can't put it back on.
Edmond - well said.
Good tip to remember!
Reducing stone wear is always welcome
Thanks for the tip!
That's the only issue I have with the customers I sharpen for, their angles are all over the place. I took your guys' advice and just stick with 21 degrees and usually just grind a new edge since most of the time the people I sharpen for don't really understand what, "sharp" truly is.
By the way, nice hat, I wore the same exact one today ;)
Yes, 21 is my "go to" 95% of the time. Glad your diggin the hat! I'm thinking of having a little different style made sometime soon. My wife is probably getting sick of seeing me where the same hat for the last 3 years.
Edge Pro Inc. if you do, advertise it. To be fully honest the only dislike I have about the hat is the stripes, but it isn’t a deal breaker at all.
Awesome tip! After I match and polish the factory bevel, I just microbevel my edges. Touch ups are just as quick
Sometimes I'll install a back bevel at a slightly lower angle and an apex bevel at a higher angle to increase both cutting ability and edge holding ability. Not all "factory" bevels are sensibly applied, I sometimes spend the first sharpening just correcting the factory's mistakes. After that though, I rarely touch one of my own EDC knives with anything more coarse than a polishing tape. Working knives are a little different, usually I give them a less finished edge but I sill apply two bevels, usually finishing to 600 or 1000 and then microbeveling with the ceramic rod and maintaining with the same. The tough sell is getting someone I sharpen for to take the time to learn and use the ceramic rod. It can definitely save them both money and metal though.
Hello from Finland!
Been long time user and a fan of this system.
I was wondering that are you son of the original creator, and are you the new head of the company?
Anyways, I like the new style of the vids. Keep it up!
Bruutus99, Ben is my good friend and now business partner. I started out as an employee in 2006 and bought in to the company 7 years ago. Ben is a little camera shy, but he still comes to work 5 days a week to answer emails/telephone calls, and keep equipment running. I expect Ben to continue to be a part of Edge Pro for many years, but if he ever decides to fully retire I will carry the torch. Thanks for the support!
