Need new steel for APX2. BlackEdge or Step?!

[gemini8026 1]

Hi guys, just looking for some opinions.

Honestly, with the price of sharpening I want whichever is going to last the longest. Im not sure how well the locals around these parts know their BlackEdge sharpening techniques, so that could be a factor as well. I have the Fusions on there now and they are rather thin.

I assume the holder can take them all now.

Fusion? Step? Black Edge?!?

Thanks for any help

Step is not available in the edge holder. I believe you're can get edge steel coated with the black edge

You'll have to do a holder swap to use either steel. If you're looking for an inexpensive method to prolong the life of your sharpening, wear skate guards to/from the dressing room and bench.
