Ive noticed my folks seem to favor the DMT diamond steel for sharpening their blades.
I have been looking at these and was wondering which ones you guys use for a complete sharpening setup, grits and stone size/shape and such ?
I was using a paper wheel setup for a while. It worked well at first but just seems rather hit and miss.
lately ive been just using a fine grinding belt then stropping on the buffer. It gets them sharp but it eats away at the blade and generally doesnt sit with me as a good practice.
Im looking for something that will get the razor edge I like but is safe, simple and doesnt damage the blade.
I almost think something like a diamond steel rod or small flat DS file might work well for me.
Thanks again!
