I have one of these sharpeners. Gives superb results and unlike many of these types of sharpening systems, you can actually fit big long knives in it

But what app do you use I just bought one an can't seem to find a decent app to check the angle, I have an android phone any help is appreciated. Thank you an I hope this finds you well an happy.

The screw on the clamp that holds the stone on the handle needs to be tightened. It's there to close up any gaps between stone and backing. It ensures even pressure across the entire blade stroke.

*It's a great sharpening device! I recently restored a vintage knife sharpener with a very interesting operating principle. I would like to know your opinion about it ;-)*

What app?

You need a backer plate on the whetstones so they don’t fall out. Major flaw

The Wasabi Knives tutorial says to move the stone from tip to bolster but this is going from bolster to tip. Does the direction make a difference?

It does. If you are doing a back pull it'll create more of a burr on the blade so if you're finishing it you dont want to create a burr you're trying to knock it off. And it absolutely depends on what type of steel your knife is. So like vg10 Damascus you don't really want to go higher than 3000 grit. You want it to still be a little toothy. A mirror polished edge won't have enough bite for things like tomato's and such.

Taking the angle from the blade is more accurate.Also, you can set angles by slipping tubes onto the vertical under the clamp, then once they are the right length for each angle yu need there's no setting needed, just us the right tube.

Buenas tardes , tengo un problema y no sé si a vosotros os pasa lo mismo , por un lado me mide un ángulo y por el otro mide otro distinto, se va bastante digamos que lo pongo a 17.50 y por el otro ma marca 10.50 . Todo esto poniendo el angulometro en la pletina arriba de dónde va la piedra. Muchas gracias de antemano y saludos.

Are the stones the same size as the Edge Pro stones? Also you guys should think of changing the ball to steel

@ruixinprosharp8234

Yes, the stones are the same size as the Edge Pro Stones. This system can hold short or longer stones. You can adjust by moving the handle back and forth. Also you can use stones with or without a backplate. You can purchase an accessory that has the ball steel. Different design but still effective.

Hola, las piedras hay que mojarlas en agua?

@jaepark75

Se recomienda mojar las piedras. Si no lo hace, el metal se acumulará en la piedra y no será tan eficiente como tener lubricación. Desea mantener las piedras mojadas mientras afila. Deberá volver a aplicar agua según sea necesario.

The only angle that matters is the angle between the sharpening stone and the knife! The angle between the clamp holder and the bench is not relevant.

It's impossible to have the same angle on both side of the knife with theses clamps. I'm very disappointed with the system.

Hello Thomas, can you describe what you're doing? Are you using whetstones or diamond stones? Have you tried the marker method? What angle are you sharpening your Japanese knives? To get a better understanding of your set up, you can email us pictures or a video of you sharpening and maybe we can give you some pointers. support@ruixinprosharp.com

You set the sharpening angle to 12°? I thought this should be 20° The native angle of the holder is 15° So if you set the phone flat on the table to zero it should be minus 5° on the wetstone. This is what you read on other websites.

Hi janpat95, yes we set the angle pretty low. We wanted to show people you can set angles pretty low and still sharpen your knife. We get a LOT of questions if we can set the angle bellow 10 degrees. Yes there are guidelines for angles for different knives. But its all entirely up to the user which angle they want. If you want a more sharp angle with a sharper edge and poor edge retentions, sure you can do this. Poor edge retention means you'll be sharpening more often. Low angles is not recommended for bushcraft knifes as the edge would be more prone to chipping.

Yeah, I know. Just mute it right ?... But why on Earth would anyone put that disgusting bloody noise on a video ?.

Seems like a huge hassle to use a allen wrench to adjust everything everytime you want to shapen a knife. Plus you should do 2+ different grades of wet stone to sharpen a knife I only see one and they didn't even wet it. Just buy a $10 wet stone on Amazon.

Flat bench is not always a level bench. The knife holding section should be around 15 degrees, then you add the stone angle to get the angle you want.
