Has anyone seen the Poltava vitrified CBN stones?

Thanks mikee1!

I’ve been sharpening by hand since I was a kid (58 now). I have no problem getting a blade hair popping or paper cutting but push cutting is a different story; probably limited by my wore out plates. I wore out the biggest DMT dual side diamond plate. My current Smith’s plate (325/650) is about done. I’m retired from the city FD. Always sharpened all the kitchen knives at work and pretty much everyone I worked with’s pocket knife.

‘Have several CPKs now and considering the cost of good bench stones, decided to go with a guided system and I’ve researched that topic to death over the last few years. Have a buddy with a Kazak Pro Black with tons of stones. I used the Kazak once and was impressed with the results.

Everything I’ve read states that metal bond is a no go when you get to 50 microns and finer. ‘Haven’t heard anything but positive on the KDTU hybrids for finishing. Likewise, everyone seems to love the TS Prof Alphas.

Have you ordered any stones yet ? i see that you are based in the US.. I have some discount codes for the Hapstone EU site if you decide to order from Europe

Not yet. Should’ve done it last week. Now, nobody has everything I was going to order in stock. EU sites always have more stock than US.
