I have the Sharp Pebble 1000/6000 whetstone made with Aluminum Oxide and I just can't get my Ontario Rat 2 in D2 steel sharp on it. I can get parts of the blade to cut paper but others not. I did look around this forum and see many people suggesting using Diamond stones or silicon carbide but nothing strictly saying Aluminum Oxide wont work. I also have a DMD mini stone that has a Diamond/Ceramic side, the Ceramic side is roughly 200 grit and had no luck with that either and the grit is so rough its leaves a really ugly finish that is hard to polish out when I attempt to refine. What is better for D2 diamond or silicon carbide? I was thinking of picking up the Whetsone Cutlery 400/1000 which is silicone carbide.
