No cookie sheet is needed. This thing grips the table like a french whore . Wow this Edge pro is amazing!!! I just got done sharpening 2 knives and holly cow at 320 they slice paper.. What is hte water bottle for? Also how do oyu clean the stones? My 220 truned dark gray after 2 knives.
They self clean when you flatten them.
I figured it out. Some soap and water and they clean quickly.
Don't use soap. Never use soap. Use only water and an abrasive. This happens automatically when you flatten the stones. I'm assuming you know that the stones need flattening.... yes? no? If no, you need a flattening medium.
Ohhh ok. Did not know that. Thank you for the information. I ordered an extra set of stones to have for spares and the silicon carbide media to flatten the stone. I don't know how to flatten them though.
Check out this knife. It will not break the bank and it will make you a J blade enthusiast.
Just a heads-up for anyone interested in this knife; CKtG carries this same knife for the same price but offers free shipping. And a discount is also available, too. I have ordered from Korin and they're a great store, but CKtG is a fantastic seller, with an amazing selection of stuff (more than Korin by far where knives are concerned). Plus, they're in Wisconsin, so if you're a grain-belter like me shipping is lightning fast. No, I'm not on the payroll! I'm just a satisfied customer. The owner, Mark Richmond, is a knowledgeable guy and and has even accommodated me with some special orders.
You're gonna love how it comes off your Edge Pro. The edge is okay OOTB but you'll be amazed at how it will cut fresh off the highest-grit EP stones.
A bit of practice with your EP and you'll get a knife sharper. At least I can...of course, I've been at this awhile!
My neighbor brought me 3 Forschner Fibrox that were soo dull. He is a butcher at Publix and uses them daily. He was telling me how hard they are to cut with. When I got done with them damn they were sharp.
Hmm, sounds like a good way to get in good with your butcher! I'm suprised that a butcher doesn't sharpen his own knives though.
He just became a butcher . He was telling me that the older guy that has been a butcher their uses stones and will not do anyones but his own. I told him I will take care of his knives if he buys the stones. He said no problem so I will take care of his knives going forward.

I have learned soo much in the last week on this system. I was putting too much force into sharpening that they would come out mediocre. Now I am developing a light stroke to sharpening and it is making a world of difference. I got a brand new set of stones from Ben in the mail yesterday. He shipped my replacement fast. His service is top notch.
