I am a knife maker from Israel (hobby) and I have used a Japanese wet stone for a long time, I have bought this system from Amazon a year ago and it is extraordinary! Amazing sharp knives.

O wow well that is awesome to hear! Glad to help!

Very very very excellent I like it

I started with a lansky. Which works great but man it takes hours, then got a tormek knockoff, and I've really screwed up a few knives with that, so I got the edge pro apex, and it's great, but like the lansky, takes a lot of time, especially if you're making a knife, not just sharpening your existing knives. I think I gotta give this a shot, thanks for another great video. I echo the other commenter too, keep it up, subs take time, your vids are 100% well put together and great. Your timeline and editing is on the money imo.

I bought this system and sharpened a few knives but exactly what you pointed out, I didn't really like it and ultimately ended up shelving it. I need to re-visit it and take some of these tips into account and just practice more. I need to just dig out some old cheap pocket knives I have to practice on. Learning and enjoying the vids!

Love your channel and your designs. Questions on the paper wheel…are you setting your secondary bevel on your 2x72 or the paper wheel?…also, have you had any issues with heat? Assuming your grinder is standard 3500RPM give or take.

@gentrycustomknives8008

I used to completely set the bevels and finish on the paper wheel, however I was having to re grit my wheel every couple months so now I’m doing most of my sharpening on the 2x72 then using the wheels for touch ups. Heat can be an issue if the wheel is worn down or your applying to much pressure.

Thank you sir, for sharing, your videos are great. I am in the process of building my tool set up don't have a bench grinder yet can we do the same with a drill and the paper wheel sharpens? And were do you buy the paper sharpeners? Thank you in advance for the great content. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks...

I was just wondering you got for 2 wheels, is it the first one - cuttin; is made of MDF wheel? The second one is made of paper wheel? (MDF is a wood powder condense to wood pieces and the paper wheel made out of paper. )

Start to finish!

Here is an easy way to make a visual aid for the sharpening angle. Take a flat piece of copy paper and think of it as a circle of 360°. Fold it once lengthwise. Now you have 180°. Fold sideways to make a 90°. Then fold twice from the 90° and you will have 22-1/2°.

Same here. I have them and it’s frustrating because I’m not getting good results. I have an 8 in grinder and I believe it goes too fast. I have a hard time setting the angle. I’ll probably try a 1750rpm grinder and see how that works.
