Blog series on oil and water stones

I wanted to write a post to simply compare oil and water stone sharpening systems and to describe my current set-up. I ended up writing quite an essay and so will post it as a series over the following weeks.

I’ll be writing about:

1. What equivalent oil and water stone sets look like.
2. What to consider when choosing between oil and water stone systems.
3. My sharpening progression on oil stones.
4. The compact sharpening station I have made.
