Over the last year, I’ve been extensively looking into diamond stones for my own sharpening as well as to offer something to our customers I could stand behind.

From  testing over 40 different stones and working exclusively with a company in japan to pinpoint the different characteristics in each stone and how they work on different knives and steel, Ive been able to narrow down a few different types of diamond stone that I’m comfortable with to replace a large amount of the synthetic stones I’ve been using over the years.

This has been a long journey to get to this point and there is a lot more work ahead but this transition to diamond stones for all of my foundation work has opened up a lot of new ideas. I’m looking forward to sharing this with you in my coming posts and introducing some new products in the coming months.
