I did once own a Edge Pro great system puts a perfect equal bevel on your EDC or kitchen knives, I now use the Spyderco Sharpmaker for my EDC love the edge it puts on my knives.

Well, I don't usually carry a knife around, but this 35 year old Air Force survival knife is a great general camping and tough as nails outdoor knife. Today I refined the bevel on an 800 grit 2x72 belt and finished it with about 200 Japanese style strokes over my Surgical Black Arkansas both ways. I used a good deal of pressure on WD-40 and stripped 30 strokes on a CrOx firehouse strop. It's now shaving sharp!
And it gave me more burnish on that new Arkie too!

Bang0, your first video link goes to a non-existent video, could you please correct your post.

So my question to you is; "Do the other three videos reflect the methods you use in sharpening your EDC knife?"

On my EDC, a Kershaw scallion worked with a folding DMT until the next abuse!

Sorry, looks like I dropped the last letter of the first link. There should be an "s" at the end. I can't seem to correct that on the mobile browser currently, so I'll go fix it once I'm on a real computer.
I thought the videos might speak for themselves, but I suppose that was foolish in retrospect.
The lazy technique I used is this:
Low grit surface of some description (400-600 grit stone/diamond/sand paper/whatever) to denim with CrOx. It's demonstrated here:

The other videos are about researching the edge before you go to work:

Being even lazier:

And going completely off the deep end of what sharp can really mean.
