I know I don't NEED them, but they just seemed to order themselves

Oh well, like the Borg say, resistance is futile.... Enjoy your hone acquisition disorder until you run out of money.... then start selling stuff to fund more hones

First off. I do NOT have HAD ;=)

I've been buying sharpeners of various types for 35+ years. Ceramic sticks, arkansas stones, diamond stones, kits, all of it. Yes I am happy with my Arkansas stones and the edges I get with them. But I've been reading about the waterstones for a while now and have to see for myself if they actually produce a finer edge, plus it never hurts to have a different hone or two.

O.K. so it looks like I can trash the Norton flattening stone and go with the 325 DMT.
