I’ve been working with Ken Schwartz at Precise Knife Sharpening, who is custom cutting Shapton Pro, Shapton Glass, and Chosera stones into Edge Pro sized stones (1″ x 6″x 5mm thick). They come mounted to an aluminum blank that fits perfectly in to any existing Edge Pro machine. They can be found on my website here.
Why, you may ask?…
Well, the stock Edge Pro stones are very nice, indeed, but they are stock. It’s like buying a stock Harley Davidson Motorcycle. Stock Edge Pro stones do the basic job, and produce edges that are much better than using freehand sharpening.
But imagine a world with the Edge Pro where extreme levels of sharpness and refinement can be had just by changing the stock stones out for three of the highest quality sharpening stone lines on the market – the Shapton Pro, Shapton Glass and the Naniwa Choseras. It’s the Edge Pro on Steroids!
Here is a picture of the Shaptons:

The Edge Pro will never be the same…..
Hi Tom,
I found your blog from the knifeforums website. I have just purchased an edge pro apex. Do you have the Shapton stones mounted for the edge pro in stock? Please let me know.
Thanks,
