Chances are the knife in your pocket is dull. Really dull. I know because I've seen it! But like automobile maintenance, keeping your blades in top operation form should be a priority. Otherwise it will let you down when you might really need it. I start off the vid by showing you my own medium capability hand sharpening skill on a SOG Gov-Tac. It's ranks about a 6 out of 10 for impressiveness. But not the Edge Pro Apex sharpener. This is a solid 10, the best sharpener I've ever found. The EPA is a compact and easy to taking along manual sharpening system that REALLY works. Much hype has accompanied other sharpeners and I've been disappointed in each one on most levels. They don't' come close to the capabilities of this one. Here I take you for the sharpening ride with the awesome Microtech SOCOM, somewhat dulled after TNP cutting tests. With its S35V steel, it's a perfect test bed for this exercise. Covered in this reference Nutnfancy vid: philosophy on sharpening (and the sometimes elitist controversy that surrounds it), setup, sharpening angles, technique and practice, stone selections, gotcha's, and the many upsides to the Edge Pro Apex. Once practiced you will find you can get "in and out" of the EPA quickly and will simply be astounded with the results (shown in detail here). It has the ability to sharpen small, very large, flexible, curved, and even serrated knives with the proper technique. Reference the www.edgeproinc.com website for more video instructions by the US inventor himself, Ben Dale (also at phone 541-387-2222). This is also where I recommend buying this $245 Edge Pro Apex 4 kit btw...tell him Nutnfancy sent ya'! Yes that is a sizable sum for a sharpener but value is delivered here: US produced, durable construction, and most importantly, you will produce edges on this easy to use machine that have previously eluded you. Just check out that SOCOM./////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 10 out of 10
