My Sharpmaker is weird. I have two problems.
The first problem is that on the gray (medium) stones, there is one side of one of the stones that feels coarse, all of the other sides feel about the same as the fine (white) stones? I rubbed the stones together like Sal shows on the video, in fact, I have done that a lot, but it never makes any of the sides feel more coarse. Did I get defective stones? Can I do anything that will make my gray stones evenly coarse?
Second, my fine (white) stones have some nicks on the edges that my knife blades catch on. Did I get ripped off?
