TSPROF k03 diamond stones

[lethjakman]

Hello! I recently ordered a TSPROF k03 and it comes with diamond stones. I have read the stones that it comes with are not very good and do not last long. Should I use them up before I purchase new stones, or are they not even worth while? How long do these typically last?

Thank you for any help!

How long they last depends on how much you sharpen with each stone. Lots of profiling they don't last long, lots of quick sharpening they last longer. Coarse stones are usually around 5-20 knives with finer ones lasting a bit longer since they are used less.

I would order new stones and then use the included ones while the new stones arrive.
