I am not an expert on this, but this system will provide a flat bevel as will any stone system. I believe the holllow/flat grind refers to the blades cross sectional shape when it’s made. A lot of blades are sharpened with cylindrical devices like sanding wheels, these put a more hollow or convex shape into the blade. Sharpening a hollow grind blade will put a flat micro bevel on it, which is absolutely fine. A straight razor comes to mind, they are hollow ground but you sharpen them by putting a micro bevel on them with a stone, which ends up being a flat grind. Thanks for watching!
I have a new Japanese cooking cleaver (choka bocho). Since the blade is so tall and the blade has a long distal taper, I wonder if it’d fit in there and still work. That rig looks awesome!
For a complete professional system that I would use as a money maker for high end knives like Sebenzas, WE knives, lion steels etc, its not unreasonable, however, I don't really sharpen those knives so I'll stick to my worksharp Ken onion grinder
Everyone has their own value system, I get that. I think it is primarily aimed at users who are: -Sharpening professionals. -Collectors that use their knives and enjoy the hobby so much that they want to have the very best system they can get for sharpening. -Food enthusiasts who frequently sharpen their kitchen blades, but want an easy system for it. Totally get it if it’s not for you! Thanks for commenting anyway. I hope you find something that you do like.
@@grimgraniteI would love recommendations on a sharping system that was in the $250 dollar range. From your previous videos Iv watched, your not aimed at the 1% of people who can afford this product.
That’s an awesome sharpener! Not sure I can justify its price, but it’s good to know it’s out there.
I want one, but if I have to choose this or a new rifle or a couple thousand rds of range ammo. I’m going with the rifle or ammo.
Cool product though
Thanks for watching!
@@grimgranite of course, will always be a viewer.
I read/hear comments in other videos about hollow versus flat grinds affecting the ability to sharpen a knife. Can you explain?

Way cool! Sounds like a great cleaver! I know the jaws on these can open up pretty wide. I bet it would work! Thanks for watching
Great video….Did the Pro 4 come with the case included, or would a person have to buy it separately?
Thank you! I believe it does come with the case, as I do not see it as an option to add-on.
Your videos are always useful and entertaining
Man I’ve wanted a wicked edge forever now . Just can’t afford them
I hear you, man. I am super grateful they sent me this one. I’m sure you would dig it, you have a bunch of blades, my friend!
Agree with your Packer perspective! LOL
Great video gordon! That thing is LEGIT!
Thanks, man! It is absurdly easy to use… I’m loving it.
anyone ever tell you that you look like IraqVeteran888?
All. The. Time. Haha!
$1,499!!! That’s insane.

It’s not insane for what it was designed to be. For a person who sharpens a lot of knives, it’s a good investment.
@@grimgraniteunless you start a knife sharpening business, it’s literally not an investment.
The law of diminishing returns also comes to mind.
