Concerns about stones vs diamond plates
OK, people of SRP Please Help Me Understand .
:argue:
In all the videos I have seen and all the posts people are using natural or synthetic stone to hone blades from 1k to 12k. I got with my new kit a DMT Dia-Sharp Bench Stone, 8"x3" Extra Extra Fine D8EE (8k grit) Here is the link to the site.
8" Dia-Sharp® Continuous Diamond Extra-Extra Fine - D8EE - The Consumer Link.
was not a cheap product, but will it be same or better than real/synth stone?
reason is these stones do not need to be lapped.

wow that was quick. how do i....
how do i break in the stone? also, in videos with Mr. Abrams he started with a 1K and ended on a 12K stone, so should i maybe get a 4k and a 10 or 12k for finishing?
