Thanks for all the guidance so far guys. Just when I think I'm understanding everything, something new comes along that confuses me. So help me understand the difference between the different sharpening stones and tapes. I think Rob said that the 1000 grit stone is equivalent to a 4000 to...

Let me add this question as well. I'm trying to convince my wife to let me get a new bread knife, but she is failing to see the value of this knife. What other uses are there for a bread knife? She thinks if you are only cutting bread with it there is no reason to spend a lot of money on a good...

Okay so let's talk about the Edge Pro Apex. Which version should I get and what additional stones will I need for it. It looks like there are 4 different options, but to keep the price down I would prefer to buy the cheapest one that has the most usable components. Then I can just buy any...

Rob, you also mentioned something about the 240mm possibly having a bigger handle than the 210mm. So do you think it is worth the extra $20 to get the longer blade and thicker handle? Also what do you think about the Tojiro Pro Sharpener they sell at Chef Knives to Go? Would this be a good...

I'm just glad I didn't buy it like I almost did last night. I know the Apex is a lot more expensive than the Lansky, but it looks a lot better...

Okay, so if I don't go with the Tojiro, what brand would you guys suggest that I could use the edgemaker pro on? I'm not saying I'm going to go that way, but it would be nice to know my best options. I did like that Edge Pro Apex. Thanks again.

I don't think I would mind sharpening my own knives provided I have the right equipment. I guess if I'm willing to spend $150 on the knives I would probably spend $30 on a good sharpener. Because the knives won't do me much good unless I can keep them razor sharp.

I'm glad I'm not the person out here who is totally confused with data/information overload! :wacko:

Okay guys, I've been reading the posts on this site regarding knives for some time now, and need to finalize my decisions. I almost went with a block set, but changed my mind after reading a lot of the comments. I know Rob is a so-called J-knife snob (his own definition), but his rationale seems...
