Excellent video Solo. This video and jdavis882 have inspired me to make the transition over to freehand sharpening. I ordered the stones you used in the video and they should arrive this week. I plan to start practicing with some cheaper knives before I move on to the more expensive ones. Great video and thanks for your contributions to the knife community.
Amazing set of videos, however, I was wondering if you think the continuous diamond stones are better than the diamond bench stones with the recessed holes in them? (Also from DMT)
@Suvexify Personally I've never had an issue with either. I guess the main thing would be more surface area on the continuous surface stone which would give a faster cut and less buildup while sharpening on the interrupted surface stones. I can't really tell a difference either way. lol The only negative I can think of with the interrupted surface stones is if you aren't careful you could catch the edge of one of the holes with your blade edge, but I've never had any problems with it.
I've seen a lot of sharpening videos and this is so far not only my favorite but also the best, the technique is very well explained and that makes it very easy to follow the steps, only one question remains, how do you clean your stones? Thank you so much..
