Mini slipstone waterstones

[thombrogan]

Anyone here have some experience with King's mini slipstone waterstones? Thinking they might be the thing for when I go all Veruca Salt on curvy blades and want more than my trusty Sharpmaker offers.

Thanks.

Not with the King stones, only with the Shaptons. Water slip stones are a bit peculiar to use, I find. Requires some retraining of the motions that you do. But after some initial difficulties, the work pretty well for me now.

Thanks, HoB! I look forward to dreading the learning curve. Almost as much as I look forward to getting some slipstone waterstones.
