I just wanted to start a thread to talk about lapping plates. I'm curious as to which plates you guys have and what you think is the best lapping plate. The lapping plate I used was a dia sharp 325, however, I didn't notice till too late that there were 2 pieces sticking up from the plate which badly scratched my hones. Because of this incident I'm a bit untrusting of dia sharp plates. So any opinions or information is greatly appreciated.
