Sharpmaker problem

[sepp]

Hi!

This is my first post here in Sypderco forum. I read it regularly as I'm a big fan of Spyderco, and it's really nice of mr. Glesser to answer to all our questions.

I bought sharpmaker 204 a week ago, read the instructions and watched the video, and sharpened all my knives (plain-edged ones) wickedly sharp easily. (really enjoyed too!

)

Then I sharpened (successfully) serrated blade on my Dyad Jr. (currently only seratted blade I have). Afterwards, I noticed that the edges (angles) of white stones were not as smooth as before - they were slightly chipped.

Has anyone else noticed such damage on white stones after sharpening serattions? Or I'm doing something wrong?

As I said, the damage is not big, and it occured only on one edge per stone, but I'm worried it could increase it time.

Thanks in advance,
Sepp

I have also noticed this on my stones.My wife broke one the other day by dropping it on the slate tile floor.The difference between the new stone and the old one is noticeable.I'm careful how I use mine and prefer a slow deliberate method.

My knives are still sharpening up well despite these small chips.

Welcome sepp. I too had this occurence on one end of one of the fine stones. I guess it is a valid issue to raise, but I simply avoided using that particular end/ corner. However if your chips are in the center area, then a replacement is definitely needed.

I had a couple of small chips out of one of my fine stones. I rubbed one stone against the other and after a fair amout of work, smoothed out the chips. They were chipped right from purchase, but being up here in Canada thought I would give this a try before going to the effort & expense of sending it back to the factory

hi Sepp. Welcome to the Spyderco forum. I have been to Zagreb, beautiful city. One day all will be well there.

Shouldn't be any chips on the white stone. Check with Goran ( Croatian distributor for replacement).
