I am somewhat confused on whether or not to get a set of diamond hones.
I have been told on the one hand, that steel is too soft so that it'll rip the diamonds off the hone; and on the other hand that diamond hones are highly effective and'll last forever.
In particular, I have a pair of knives with hardness around 60-62, that I am NOT looking forward to trying to hone with waterstones.
Anyone with experience able to help me?
