How long do these stones last (roughly) ?

@nkosb

Hard to say. My stones I have had for around four years now with years left in it. Jon will wear his out in under a year. It just depends on how much you use them.

F.Y.I. ; Carter Cutlery owned by Murray Carter. Wes just handled the youtube channel but Murray canceled that channel and took the reigns himself on his new channel.

@red0ubtable Thank you for the information.

I have a question if i sharpen a bigger blade will I get that polished part all the way up because I would prefer just to have the tip of it polished and the rest black

[seanmulhall]

@CactusGN

The only parts that will be polished are the areas you rub against the stones.

I love that noise when you sharpen on a water stone.

@medicinaluse My camera does not have an external mic socket. I have recently bought a new self poewered mic and that will not work either. The only option for me is top buy a new camera £300-£400 or you could buy some decent speakers £20 cause the sound is fine on my computer and my wifes laptop.

@seanmulhall while I agree that the sound is fine in this vid, if you wanted to record it separately, you could use a laptop or and ipod with a lapel mic and sync the sound up in your editing program

ur not supposed to pull the tip of the knife all the way of the stone

I actually learned of this method from watching Japanese cartoons. Truthfully enough, it works great. My knifes are 10x sharper when compared to other sharpening methods. Although I prefer dripping water on top of the stone as I sharpen the knife to wash away the tiny bits of the stone or metal from the blade so the cutting edge is constant.
