Title: Sharpening stone/Hone
Post by: Surprise Sliver on February 15, 2007, 04:12:00 PM
In your opinion whats the best sharpening stone or hone used in sharpening 3blades like the WW or Snuffers after using the file?  Open to all suggestions.  Thanks

I use an arkansas hard stone.  Works great.

Whatever it is - Diamonds will handle it!
So, DMT stones for me. Should I need some gideance instead of free hand sharpening, I employ my 'Warthog sharpener' which will work together with them!

I just use the mill file when they need a lot, or my new Furi ozitech with Diamonds for the touch up. Yes Falk, Diamonds.

I agree with houseman, the arkansas hard, then the arkansas soft, finish with a black stone to put that final razor edge that will last.
