PM2: s110v or wait for Maxamet

[MyLegsAreOk]

Yah . . . I used to think ceramic as in CERAMIC was hard . . . right . . . then these guys taught me some stuff. One of those things they finally hammered through my slow moving mind is :
Vanadium carbides are harder than ceramic sharpening stones.

You may be pushing around (burnishing) the matrix of metal that contains the vanadium carbides and getting an edge that whittles but it tends to be temporary and frail in my first hand experience.

Get diamond stones, you can even get them up to 8,000 grit, and don't look back.
Makes a difference.

I have the orange and yellow smith stones. They remove way WAY too much material so I stopped using them all together even on alloys without vanadium like the 154cm, D2, H1, and mov variants (I don't have anything in vg10). I think all I'm doing to the s110v (and the 90 for the bench 940) is steeling(burnish?) the edge then because it seems to be really sharp after I dulled then a tad cutting on a metal surface or through a stack of paper.
