Before exploring the Edge Pro sharpener, you should know whether the knife is sharp or not. This method is easy and practical for many types of knife such as tanto, kitchen knife, and tactical, even serrated blade. Firstly, prepare paper and fold it to create the same folding section. Hold this paper at one hand and cut using blade through its folding mark. Sharp knife will pass this cutting process easily without any problem. Unfortunately, you need to check the blade sharpness if cutting process is not easy. Paper is thin and lightweight, but cutting through its folding at hanging mode is not simple. This is simple trick to know when you want to sharpen your knife.
Edge Pro sharpener belongs to manual category, but it uses advanced support tool. Before sharpening, you have to assemble each part into proper place. One benefit of this product is that it’s capable to sharpen many blades. You can use its kitchen knife, tanto blade, and curve knife.
