Apex 4 Kit – Apex Model Edge Pro Sharpening System

Probably the best knife sharpener I’ve had (I’ve been through several) and it’s excellent. Totally worth it. Fantastic customer service.

Great product!

With a very short leaning curve this thing has exceeded my expectations. The quality of the materials are great and the storage bag is the cherry on top. Couldn’t be happier.

I have been sharpening knives freehand, pretty much since I was a kid. I have always sharpened for my kids and parents using different sharpening tools that I had inherited from my Grandpa. I always thought that I did a pretty good job. I was sharpening my daughter’s kitchen knives just before Christmas last year and I noticed that I had a very different angle on each side of the knives. I realized that maybe I wasn’t doing such a great job. At that point I didn’t even know that guided sharpening systems existed. About a week before Christmas I started looking at sharpening systems online. I looked at every type of system that I could find and read lots of reviews. One type of knife that I had never been able to sharpen was a filet knife. No matter what I tried I had never been able to get one of my filet knives satisfactorily sharpened. So one stipulation that I had was the system had to be able to sharpen a filet knife! After all my research, on Christmas Day I had pretty much narrowed my choice down to the Edge Pro Apex. The only question I had was how well it would sharpen a filet knife. So on Christmas day I emailed Edge Pro expecting not to hear back from them until after the holidays. Much to my surprise in fifteen minutes they replied. Talk about customer service! That sold me, along with the fact that I really believed the Apex would be the best for sharpening a filet knife. I ordered the Apex 2 on Christmas Day. I didn’t really think I needed the Apex 4 and would save some money. Since I received the Apex in January I have sharpened 75 knives. I am so excited about sharpening knives I have been sharpening for family, friends and co-workers. I have since bought everything that comes with the Apex 4 and also every accessory except the scissor attachment. I would give 5 stars to everything I have purchased. I take pictures of every knife I sharpen and have a spreadsheet where I record how each knife was sharpened. I also purchased the Edge On Up sharpness tester because I wanted a quantitative measurement of how sharp I am getting the knives. I check the sharpness of every knife before and after sharpening. This has greatly increased my sharpening pleasure. I am consistently sharpening any knife to 100-125 Bess which is sharper than a utility razor blade. So here’s my advice for anyone just getting into sharpening. Look no further that the Apex. It’s lack of a clamp changes the game! Also buy the Apex 4 and if you can afford it just go ahead and get all of the accessories. It’ll save you shipping because you will end up wanting them all anyway. The only thing I am looking forward to trying in the future are the diamond matrix stones. A quality product, great customer service, and made in the US. What more can you ask for? Sorry this was so long but I could go on and on about this sharpener. I can’t tell you how appalled I am with how dull people’s knives are and the joy I get in giving them their knives back razor sharp! Most people’s knives haven’t been sharpened since the day they bought them. Thank-you Edge Pro!!! I will be a lifetime customer!

Will recommend to family and friends.

Wow, what a great product. This allows me to very simply sharpen my knives to razor sharpness without any worries. I love this product.

At first it takes some time to get, how to use the kit properly, but after a while it is amazingly easy and a lot of fun to use. The kit quite expensive and if you order from Switzerland like I did, you pay another 100.- for shipping and customs. Nevertheless, I highly recommend the apex 4 kit! It is quite nice that a bottle is included, and the instructions are particularly useful.

My only regret about buying the Edge Pro Apex is that I didn’t buy it years ago! Since receiving the Apex about a week ago, I have sharpened 15 kitchen knives and 6 pocket/hunting knives. I consider myself a novice but the edges I have put on these knives with the Apex are professional in performance and appearance. I could not be more pleased. I have added the retractable magnet and the small knife attachment and both work very well. Thank you Edge Pro!

Best knife sharpening kit I've ever owned.

I am super chuffed with this kit! It is simple, effective and very efficient. I use lots of whetstones for my knives but this is superior even from the very first knife. I found it very easy to set up. It does take some getting used to, once practice is completed, you will be banging out knives every 10 minutes. It is even a pleasure trying to get a greater edge with each attempt, very pleased with it. I ordered this to Scotland as we don’t have anything like the edge over here. My kit came without any delay, it was singed too, very nice touch. Cheers

Exceeded my expectations! Takes a little practice but going from 250 to 3000 leaves a long lasting mirror sharp finish.

It works well!! Even for a beginner. So far I’ve sharpen more than 10 knives and it’s been successful. It takes a little bit of learning curve just like everything else. Thanks for making an awsome tool. More power.
