Thank youFor me, I’d choose the wider stone. Less variable when sharpening since you’re working more edge per pass.

With narrow stones you are more likely to tilt the blade on the edges of the stone and mesh up the angle. I'd absolutely pick 3" over 2".
What kind of bench stones did you have at your exhibit in Las Cruces ? Those were really niceI have sharpened 7" knives on a 2x8" stone. I didn't think I needed more stone. However, I do enjoy working 8- 10" knives on my Norton Tri-hone. Which has 2.5 x 11.5" stones. But how often does one sharper that size blade? Plus, these stones are pricey. DM
