I was considering that one, and after watching the video, am gravitating to the Idahone fine at 3000 grit vs this at 2000. I am an habitual honer, and was thinking if I could find a steel that would work with the harder knives, I'd feel a little better than taking a bit of steel off each time. Perhaps I'll need to touch up less often with the harder knives, -- not in hand, yet, so I don't know. Maybe I need to change my expecations....
