Jayson here and I have been looking for a knife sharpener (I have been using a folding honing stone that was recommended by Mr. Harsey and while I am pleased with the results, I think my freehand leaves much to be desired) and am glad to have foud this post. I do have a couple of questions though and hope someone can help.
I understand that I can sharpen kitchen knives with the Pro Apex. The knives I have are the Calphalon Katana Series. My brother uses the same knives and when he spoke with a Calphalon rep about sharpening his knives, he was told that becasue of the type of steel used, when sharpening and knife, he was to pull the blade towards him rather than away. Does this makes sense or is it just a sales pitch? Would the Pro Apex still suit my needs? And finally, which Apex kit should I buy? Kit #4 seems to make the most sense as it comes with more items, but are these all necessary? Please respond. Thanks!
