If you use the thinner stones it's easier to be consistent and remove more material in a lighter swipe than when you use the wider stones that have a bigger contact surface - so if your a hard steel knife guy like me make sure you get thin stones.
This is also why lanky systems tend to work better on harder steel than the wider stone knock off knife sharpener kits.
It takes a bit more practice to get razor sharp on any recurve knife, or long blade knife you sharpen with any system, same is true with stone sharpening but it's easier to learn how to,tackle it with the edge pro system. Just go watch the youtubes on large or long blades. Essentially you just shift the blade up or down so you keep the edge angle you want on that sedan of the blade.
Is the combination of bad angle, and in consistent strokes with broad or wider stones that make it more difficult to get a good edge far away from the center of the sharpening system.
