Hello Sharpeners,
As I've said here many times, I'm a sucker for my Arkansas stones. I know not everyone likes them any more but I do and I very much like the edge off my soft stones, especially for the kitchen.
That said, I'm also quite open to trying new things and on a little quest to do just that. Currently, I'm quite interested in the Spyderco bench stones and am wondering if the medium is approachable to the Arkansas soft?
I know that's a bit of a loaded question in that grits are highly subject and different media give different edges, but just in general, would you say they are in the same ballpark or is the fine closer? I'm thinking the UF is more on par with a black.
Appreciate any input you might have.
