Howdy there,
Question: What is a good coarse sharpening stone that doesn't require water?
Detail: I have two DMT Diamond sharpening (coarse and fine) and the three Spyderco ceramic stones (medium, fine, freakyfine). None of these require any water or oil to use (only to clean). I have my sharpening setup far away from a water source (a whole room away) and I really appreciate not having to put water on my knives, especially the folders where water may sit in a hidden spot I cannot easily dry. I don't want to start a debate on water stones/oil stones/this and that, I really enjoy water stones I just don't have any at this moment. I just would like some input on some coarse stones that would fit with my current setup (not needing water). My DMT stone worked great but I am starting to see the diamond coating wearing off the stone sooner than I hoped and I want to save these diamond stones for higher end steels while the stones are still usable. Ideally I would use another ceramic stone that is coarse. I want a stone that would not require water and wouldn't dish out or wear out quickly. Does anyone have any recommendations that fit this criteria?
Thank you all,
St.rainger
