Who has one, which model, and how do you like it?

Right now I go to either 200 or 400 on the grinder and then to a fine diamond stone.

Boise loaned me his and then I bought one. A good piece of equipment as far as I am concerned.
Not sure the model I bought, but it was not the most expensive.
I buy my replacement stones from them.

The only issue I have is having to tape the blade to keep from scratching it up.
It is quick to switch sides and stones. I keep the angle set at 24 normally.

I do 120 grit on 1x42 to get most of the cutting bevel shaped.
Then on Edge Pro--120 grit, 220 grit, 600 grit and finish on leather strop.

I keep the stones fresh with lightly soapy water and clean with tooth brush and wipe off.
I also keep stones reshaped to flat as they wear.
Works for me.

I have been using an EdgePro Apex for some time now. I don't use it on Scandi grind blades or convex grind, but on the others, it excels. I rarely have to actually sharpen a good knife. Edge touch up seems to work. On knives for processing dead critters, I'll polish the edge with 2000 and 5000 grit tape.

Go carefully when using a belt grinder. Easy to go too far and/or too hot. Fresh grit and light pressure.

Yeah, the hollow ground blade does not set that well on the Edge Pro rest, but I only have one hollow ground blade.
I would think the Scandi would work on the Edge Pro, but I have never had one of them. What process works best with Scandi?????

I probably should try going to that fine of an edge finish for just processing meat, but I have
a tendency towards a slightly toothy edge.

I have the Edge Pro Apex. It's a versatile and effective tool. I like mine for when I really need to sharpen a knife. Not worth setting it up for a touch up on a blade.

Tim, I use Japanese water stones for scandi grind knives.

I have an Edge Pro Apex and really like it. The kit that I got has Shapton water stones and they work good.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Hoping Santa will bring me an Apex for xmas!

Wicked edge Go is another very nice sharpener!
