Edge Pro Apex 120 grit Coarse Stone

Restore Life to Your Most Neglected Blades


The Edge Pro Apex 120 Grit Stone is the industrial-strength solution for heavy metal removal, chip repair, and complete edge re-profiling. When a knife is truly 'dead'—featuring significant chips, a rounded tip, or a completely lost bevel—standard sharpening stones are too slow and inefficient. This 120-grit silicon carbide stone is designed for the heavy lifting, acting as the primary 'shaper' in your sharpening kit.


Whether you are a professional sharpener processing dozens of kitchen knives a day or a collector restoring a vintage find, this stone provides the aggressive bite needed to move metal quickly. It excels at thinning out thick behind-the-edge geometry, allowing you to establish a fresh, clean apex in minutes rather than hours. Because it is a silicon carbide waterstone, it maintains a high cut rate throughout its life, ensuring that even the hardest super-steels yield to its abrasive surface. We recommend this for anyone who finds themselves spending too much time on their 220-grit stone; if you're working hard to fix a chip, you should be using the 120 first.

    Technical Context & Trade-offs

    Chef Feedback: This stone is the 'sledgehammer' of the Edge Pro lineup. While it is incredibly efficient, it leaves deep, consistent scratches. To achieve a mirror polish or a refined kitchen edge, you must follow this stone with a 220 or 400 grit stone to erase the scratch pattern. Professionals value this stone because it prevents 'glazing'—it keeps cutting even when faced with high-vanadium steels that would stall out finer stones.

    Maintenance Note: As a coarse waterstone, the 120 grit will wear faster than finer finishing stones. We recommend frequent leveling with a leveling kit to ensure your bevels remain perfectly flat and precise across the entire length of the blade.
