Diamond Matrix One night in 1982, I was sharpening knives for a friend who owned a restaurant. Jon Rowley stopped by to deliver fish and saw my work. He told me, "if you will come sharpen my knives once a week, I will get you all the customers you can handle." So I did, and he did, and I was in the sharpening business. But working with knife sharpeners by hand was too slow. I began working on a better way. For years, I just kept sharpening and designing. As the Professional reached maturity, customers on my route wanted to have one of their own. Once I had the knife sharpening stones perfected, Edge Pro sharpening systems were born!" Operations Manager Cody Kendal joined the Edge Pro family in 2006

The Best Knife Sharpener For Your Money The Best Knife Sharpener For Your Money

Now, mirror edges are cool and all, but what about edge retention? After all that is what led me down this rabbit hole. This edge is now silly, it’s like a razor blade. Interestingly it holds a pretty decent edge, but I have to imagine the tip is decently fragile.Test with paper to determine how sharp the blade is. This also tells me what it might be in need of. You basically want a clean and effortless cut that easily slices through a loosely held sheet of paper. However, because this was my first go, it’s not nearly as good as my later attempts to get a sharp edge, even on badly profiled knives. Even still, it’s saved the knife enough for it to be something silly (I’ll explain in a moment). This is the first electric sharpener on our list, and one of only two that I think are worth looking at for real knife enthusiasts. Many electric knife sharpeners are just sort of glorified pull-through sharpeners – they create a lopsided burr that will tear up a steak for a few cuts – but the Work Sharp is more akin to a powered Sharpmaker. It uses a 120V/1.5 Amp electric motor to drive a flexible belt in a triangle shape, and a guide fits over the belt. The angle of the guide is adjustable between 15 and 30 degrees per side (so 30-60 inclusive) and you place the blade in the guide, sharpening one side then flipping to the other, leaving a convex edge bevel (as opposed to most of the rod sharpeners which do flat edge bevels) which Work Sharp and Ken Onion claim is more durable than a flat edge. Here’s the path I take now to maintaining a sharp knife, which will remain sharp for a very long time: Want to go nuts with your sharpener? How about an electric powered wet-stone with a built in leather strop wheel to boot?

As I have been using the Apex, I have fallen in love with it. It is fast and easy to use. I have gotten to the point where I am starting to really put some wear on the stones themselves. All of my newer knives I have managed to maintain the factory angle for the most part but add a mirror finish to each blade. Totally different from the other sharpeners on this list, the Tormek T-4 is more a piece of industrial equipment and less a hobbyist sharpener. The T-4 uses an 8” Aluminum Oxide sharpening stone that rotates on a 120w/230V electric motor. The bottom of the stone rests in a water trough that keeps the edge of the stone lubricated while it’s turning, which both cleans the stone and cools the item being sharpened (avoiding overheating it and ruining the tempering.) The standard stone with the Tormek is approximately 220 grit; using the stone grading tool (including) smooths it out to around 1000 grit for fine finishing. Once you’ve got a clean edge grind, use the built in leather strop wheel to straighten out the burr, and you’ve got a scary sharp knife.

The Edge Pro Apex 1 knife sharpener kit is a patented wet stone sharpening system that will sharpen any size or shape blade (up to 3 ½" wide), including serrated knives. Knives can be sharpened at exactly the same angle every time, making re-sharpening so fast you will never work with a dull blade again. The Edge Pro Apex stones in our wet stone sharpening kits have been custom formulated to free you from messy, gummed-up oil stones. They last a long time and are inexpensive to replace. The Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpening System will remove far less metal than electric sharpeners or grinders, eliminating wavy edges and adding to the life and performance of your knives. Clean: if there is no nasty tape residue, I clean with Dawn soap and water. If there is tape residue, Goof Off gel spray and wipe clean. Then I rinse with Dawn and water to get the slime from the Goof Off to go away. The Ken Onion Edition is a variant of the standard Work Sharp electric power knife sharpener, developed with input by the man himself – surely you’re familiar – to work specifically on knives.
