Never got around to the punch line _ There be another post now ! Please dont spam it !

LANSKY - I only have two of them .
+ 3 other guided knife sharpeners .

And I think many are jumping the gun to get their opinions out there for what ever reason ?
It's a big world . There is the right way of doing things . the wrong way . And where there is no right and wrong , their is your way . And if some one does not like your way ? What did your mom tell you ?

A) I have never told anyone what to do
B) The whetstone grinder is
1) Quick
2) Lays down a straight bevel
3) Shows up bad grinds / edges
4) A great starting point for a new edge
5) Works as is .. I will give it's not a good paper slicing edge . But on flesh = Ouch ! ( Think GINSU )

How far you take an edge ( 10,000 grit ? ) is your business and has nothing to do with me !
( The land of the free and all that ) How can a free people be so intolerant ?

One man's skills set will be different from another's, as will his choice of tools.
As long as both arrive at a viable result, who is to say one is better or more valid than the other?

Well, actually, posting on an open forum kinda means you are willingly opening up for other opinions. Even those that don't agree with yours. Goes with that "freedom" you speak of ... differing opinions aren't spam.
And the only one jumping a gun over it is .... YOU ....

That opinion again ..

FYI , edges are magnified between 100x and 150x ..

And yeah , the kind thing to call it is spam . ( That's my opinion )
