I finally switched from Arkansas stones to diamond stones and I’m glad I did. I cannot believe how much faster and less messy they are to sharpen. I put my Arkansas stones on Ebay and decided to just let them go. The final straw was that the Arkansas stones were not flat and cut slow. The edge of my plane blades had an”S” shaped curve. It just bothered me.. After I bought my diamond stones, I searched the net on reviews and I’m amazed on how many people look down on them. I think Paul and one other professional were the only two to brag about them about the longevity and the fact they remain flat got years.
I think you will like these for years to come!
