Combo Edge
Which stone/grit should I use for sharpening?
I’m doing wood carvings, and I am interested in sharpening with Japanese Water Stones. I don’t have much money to work with, so I’ve narrowed it down to two options. A 1000/6000 grit combo waterstone or a 800/4000 grit combo waterstone? Would both give me a sharp edge to carve correctly? Thanks!
Gee Jughead thanks for answering my question!
Most people make the mistake of putting a liquid on their stones when they sharpen, be it water or oil. The liquid keeps metal particles on the sharpening surface making it difficult to get a good edge. The Japanese stones are not as good as people say. A good Arkansas stone will do great, maybe a medium and a fine. Use them dry and clean them with soap and a toothbrush. You can oil them for storage if you like. It’s not the stone so much as the way you use it and your sharpening technique.
