Fixed-angle hand sharpening is the most visually appealing of the methods of sharpening that we use. The control that you can get from a good fixed-angle sharpening system is unmatched. There is also a more wide range of stone types available fore these fixed-angle systems. This means that we can use the best type of stones for the type of steel your knife is made of. The control coupled with slow more deliberate steel removal make it easer to get a good looking edge. The main thing you get from this type of sharpening is a cosmetically better looking edge. If all you care about is cutting performance then we recommend going with the standard Tormek edge. We mainly recommend this service for high end EDC Pocket knives. Due to the increased amount of time and work it takes to sharpen with one of these systems we charge a premium price of $25. We use a Edge Pro BevelTech for this process. The BevelTech is very versatile when conpaired withe other system because instead of using a clamp to fix the knife in place it uses a set or removeable magnets. Edge Pro has been making fixed-angle sharpeners in the USA for 30 years and has great customer service.
