I just ordered my EdgePro Pro yesterday. I'm so excited and can't wait to get it. I've never had a real sharpening systrm before.
Welcome to the club, Nica. When your EP arrives, watch the video before you do anything else. Soak the stones for at least ten minutes. Maintain a light grip on both the knife and the EP. Use fairly light pressure. Go slooooowly until the action becomes second nature. Check the bevels often to ensure even grinding along the entire length of the edge. DO NOT go on to the next finer grit stone until you have both raised a burr and removed it. Burr removal can be easy or difficult depending on the steel composition. There are several ways to remove it and if you have difficulty please ask. Congratulations on your purchase. Though not inexpensive, the pleasure you will obtain from using truly sharp knives will make it worth every last penny.
