RogerTheCat 3 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) I have got a japennese water stone, a butcher steel and Fallkniven DC4 Whetstones (which is a sort of stone on one side and metal plate with diamonds in it on the other) I find the jap water stone best for sharpening carbon steel blades such as my mora knife and my billhook The butchers steel is best for sharpenning my Buck pen knife which is 371 stainless steel The Fallkniven DC4 Whetstones is best for sharpening my leatherman but also small enough to keep in my pocket when i am out. I think the point i am trying to make is that different sharpeners seem to work best with different knives or more correctly different metals.
