Thanks so much for posting! I have had the smaller DMT interupted surface bench stones (a bit smaller than the ones shown in use) for a few years now (my lovely wife got them for me for Christmas a while back), but I had always been a bit afraid of really using them for fear of messing up a knife instead of making it better. Within the last few months, I have given it a try, with fairly good results, but after watching these videos, I am amazed at how much better my results are! I would love to have that large kangaroo leather bench strope that I saw in the video; since I don't have one of those, I have been using one of my old leather belts (I am sure that it must look quite funny, but it does work!). Again, thanks so much!

I did find that the orginal grind was off on one side in the tune of about 25 degrees on one side and <20 on the other.

I found the same on both a 0550 & 0551.

I actually watched the whole series. Excellent vids.
