Someone mentioned that the recurve 4" stone can't be found. It may have been discontinued. That would be a shame. But, DMT has a new tool for sharpening curved woodworking tools. It's called a wave or honing cone. I think this would work well on recurves.JD Spydo wrote:Those "serrated edge sharpener's" you just mentioned are the ones I'm talking about>> they are conical shaped and they fold up on those plastic guard/handles. I've even got a couple of those conical serrated edge sharpeners of theirs in ceramic and they are a nice handy tool for some specialized sharpening jobs.
I have recently had a couple of the guys here at Spyderville tell me that there is a company by the name of "Atomas" who also have super high quality diamond sharpening tools as well. I've had really great luck with the 3M Diamond stones and specialized diamond sharpening files of theirs as well. And you don't hardly ever hear anyone talk of 3M at all. But I've never had any kind of an abrasive tool I've got from 3M to be nothing but super quality. Texas Knifemaker supply is who I got most of my 3M stuff from.
When I get time this next week I'll call DMT and see what they can tell me over the phone. JD
I've read that Atoma stones are very good. I think they are on "chefknivestogo.com". I'm sure they have a site themselves.
