New whetstone

DirtySteve · 02-01-2016, 06:41 PM

I can shave with most of the blades in the house now, the Tiny Damascus deer knife is always surgically sharp, but I was impressed with how well my new $15 Mora knife got keen edged.

I got a 3 stone set of used stones years ago from work.

What kind/brand of wet stones? Expensive jap stones?

I have a nice cheap 1000gt ceramic flat stone Ive been using for touch up. Was looking at the norton water stones

I have several moras, and Beckers and got a Esee 6 recently

Stones are almost a thing ofv the past IMHO. At work & home I have a diamond steel & a steel one. The both steels will do what a set of stones will with less hassle.

Once you get your knife sharp it doesn't take much to keep it that way.

I have a Tormek T-7 water cooled sharpener for my planer and jointer blades. It's also good for chisels and scissors and knives.

I have a couple of Arkansas stones that I use to touch up my knife blades. Just a couple of passes on each side and the blade is razor sharp again. The bottom one is super fine.

In hunting camp and you forgot your knife sharpener? If you have a piece of glass, top of your side truck window or a ceramic coffee cup? They make great emergency knife sharpeners.
As good as a stone or steel? Nope but they will sharpen enough to skin a deer.
