This really works. I stumbled on this wood block approach when I had a hatchet to polish and sharpen. I didn’t know that Cody had already done a video. I’m now going through all of the videos to learn more. I am an Edge Pro fan guy. It is the best system…. BY FAR!!!
Totally agree with that last comment, Cody. With a few tricks the Edge Pro is incredibly versatile.
I’ve been using an apex for... damn, almost 20 years? Something like that. This video was honestly amazing. Some very good tips easily explained. Keep up the good work.
I have the professional version. Best ever!!!! Cody, thanks for the great customer support. I would like to see you sharpening a convex edge one of these days.
Jaspion, Thanks for the feedback. There's a lot of different opinions on the convex edge. Our opinion is that a flat edge is much easier to get good, and repeatable results. I can tell you in short, that you CAN sharpen something with a convex edge with your edge pro, but you end up converting it to a flat edge. We've experimented with the idea of a curved stone arm, and a couple other things, but the results were just not that great. I'll try to make a video on it!
Such a great machine!
Great job, Cody. Very informative.
Thank you, Lance.
Great video. Very informative and well put together.
Thanks you, Miles. Hope all is well with you.
Just sharpened a hatchet yesterday. Great info. Keep the videos coming. The Cutting Edge, Cuenca
Thanks Rick, I've been slacking lately with the videos! I'm tryin, I'm tryin! =)
Great bit of information ,top job👍🇦🇺
Thanks Richard!
It's also not possible to turn the guide plate sideways on the professional model, but there's also no "bump" and that makes block placement easier. I could be wrong but that "shim" looks suspiciously like the "riser block" sold with the scissors attachment. Like Cody said though, it could be made of anything solid. Another really good video, Cody. Thanks.
And Ben does return emails!
I'm considering buying an Edge Pro and trying to learn about it. This method would put a secondary bevel on the axe, wouldn't it? My understanding is that most axes have a convex edge - how would you sharpen it to preserve that? Thanks!
Using this method, the bevel you create would become the primary bevel which would be a flat edge, flat edges are much easier to sharpen and are more repeatable. If you want to preserve the convex edge then this is not the method for you.
@@EdgeProflat may be easier to sharpen , but a convex edge on an axe or a machete chopper must keep its convex edge , that edge is designed to keep the blade from getting stuck in the wood,
You guys need to come up with a curved arm that holds the stone for convex edges like KME does
This got me thinking (uh oh) What's the actual angle of the apex you want on an ax or hatchet? This thing is going to have to go in cross grain, not just split wood, so it has to be low enough for that, but it also has to be high enough to take that cross grain chopping impact. Where are we at here?
