Wanting to sharpen my S30V Native with my Lanksy Deluxe sharpening kit. I'm thinking of buying a coarse diamond hone to start the sharpening process, then finish up with the normal medium and fine stones in my deluxe kit. Anyone see a problem here? I'm trying to avoid having to buy an entire new kit of diamond hones and just use the one coarse diamond stone along with the deluxe kit I currently have.

Thanks,

Unless you plan on seriously re profiling the Native, I wouldn't bother with the coarse diamond (overkill really). The lanksy coarse stones will cut just fine for "normal" sharpening.
 
I haven't used the regular stones in my Lansky since I started using the diamond stones. I use the med diamond for reprofiling a new edge, and the fine diamond for everthing else. Add a sharpie and a 10x glass to see what you are doing.

Is the medium diamond stone about as coarse as a regular coarse stone?

Hard to compare as diamond grit appears to be spread out more.

I get mine at Bass Pro. Took me 45 min to reprofile a small Sebenza from convex grind to beautiful even machine look with edge grind about 1/8 ".
 
I've found the Lansky fine diamond hone to work much better and much longer than the coarse diamond hone on my S30V Native. Not sure why though, possibly because it doesn't wear as fast due to the smaller grit.
 
I just sharpened my as yet untouched S30V Native the other week. The standard lansky coarse stone worked great. Took less than 4 cycles of 10 strokes to cut the new edge and finished up with medium and fine.
