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