Using a Guided Sharpening System Ep 2: Selecting the right stones for your Knife

Welcome back to Using a Guided Sharpening System Ep 2: Selecting the right stones for your knife. In this episode we cover the most basic understanding of sharpening stones. The categories of how to group them and what each group is used for.

This episode will help you better understand which stone to start with and which stone to finish on. The idea of a perfect sharpening is one where you remove the least amount of metal to get the edge you want.

We also touch on Diamonds and Aluminum Oxide in this episode but we don't go into great detail. As I said in episode 1 this series will be exhaustive and I believe that diamonds deserves it's own episode.

I normally just buy new knifes when my old ones get too dull, but I'm gonna have to get into sharpening. Are you going to cover technique.

Very interesting! I know a lot about stones and sharpening but there are too many different brands, I need some new diamond stones and want the best I can get for my money
Nice content! Subscribed!😊

The selection is very simple: take one medium diamond stone and if you want a polish, one high grit alu

A sharpening friend of mine has become adept enough to be able to not only achieve hair whittling edges but hold them for extremely long amounts of time with daily use. I’m talking whittling a hair 15 times after 3 months of daily use. Then again he is using cts 204p but nevertheless impressive.

Nice informative video. Have you by chance had an opportunity to use the Atoma Diamond Stones for the Edge Pro, or plan on getting one in the future? ChefKnivesToGo has them. I'm thinking of getting the 140 grit and trying it out. This diamond will only be used for major repairs, thinning etc...
