Cheaper than Arkansas stones, if not quite as traditional.

  1. easier to learn to use a stone than to master one of those....they are easy to do a LOT of damage with.

    If you get one, be VERY careful.

    Trust me on this.

  2. Yep - it always pains me when you see a decent quality knife that has been totally messed up due to improper sharpening, usually on an electric sharpener of some kind. Chef's knives end up looking like filet knives ... sad.

  3. The best use of one of these (the Ken Onion version is probably the best) is to limit its use to a 1000 grit belt and leather strop only, for the final sharpening light pass and the pre-kitchen-use touch up. Otherwise: It's a belt sander, guys. Remember the first time you used a belt sander on soft pine?

  4. I bought one of their belt sanders but they just sent me the one below which I prefer. ($15)
