I haven't bought an Apex Edge Pro yet (probably won't until next year). However, I have taken some of what you pro knife sharpeners have mentioned to heart.
Lately, when I've been sharpening a blade, I keep working with one stone (freehand) until I raise and then remove a burr.
A few weeks ago, I sharpened many of my work knives with the kitchen's set of stones (nothing special). I was able to raise and remove a burr with all three stones. Yes, I shaved quite a bit of hair off my arm with the resulting razor-sharp edge. Since I'm freehanding it, and don't have waterstones, I won't even attempt to call this edge "scary-" or "spooky-"sharp. It's still one of the sharpest edges I've produced.
Last week, we had our club's Invitational Tourney. One of those days, I had to dice a bunch of onions, as well as julienne a bunch. I think I ended up cutting over 30 onions in about 20 minutes.
I think I found a Zen-like state while cutting those onions. I fear I may be going over the edge......
