So I don't feel like I need any additional stones but I love getting them and you folk always have the best insight so I thought I'd just toss this out to see what you all say.
The overwhelming majority of the knives I sharpen would be considered "low alloy" types. I have a well-stocked KME setup for the high-vanadium stuff. But most of what I use, kitchen or EDC, and most of what others ask me to help with are pretty sharpen-friendly.
My current free hand gear is:
- 300 grit Ultra Sharp diamond
- Norton Crystolon Medium
- Norton India Fine
- Various Arkansas stones from soft to black
- Double-sided (rough/smooth) strop with CrO on one side
I love toothy edges and I love my Arkansas stones.
But what would you add?
