I ordered a coarse and a fine DMT Dia-sharp and received them today. I pop'd out the coarse stone and set to work on my Spyderco VG-10 Lava,sharpening at about a 30 degree angle (I know, not much, but I can always take off more steel).
I sharpened.... and sharpened.... and sharpened. Even with the coarser finish on the stone in the beginning, it still took 45 mins for ONE SIDE.
VG-10 isn't really a hard steel to sharpen, either.
I'm kinda disappointed, I guess I'll have to get the XXC, but should a coarse Dia-sharp cut this slow?
