Hi guys,
I just bought a sharpmaker and like it but
Find it slow if resetting bevels. I just bought two XC dmt 4 inch plates with the intention to use rubber bands or clips to attach to SM rods
Pretty sure this will work well for smaller pocket and kitchen knives. For the big knives I will keep using my water stones.
My question is, after is sharpen on the XC plates, is it going to be too much of a jump going to medium SM rods. I have the F and UF as well.
I decided against SM diamond rods as the reviews weren't great. This is all just an experiment. I was very impressed with the diafold on a recent trip to Costa Rica.
The main motivation is getting a bevel that makes using the SM really fast and easy.
Thoughts and opinions welcomes as always.
Thx
