When you're starting out, one of the hardest things is keeping a consistent angle, and these can help a lot with that. Especially if you're doing it every 15 minutes, being able to reproduce the angle precisely will speed things up a lot (once you've got your bevel angles established) :) | |

Due to the stone's small size, and unpleasant smell, as well as the gusto with which he is jumping into this hobby, I find myself shopping for a new stone. If I will be doing this activity 8-10 times/day for the next few months, or longer, I should spend a little more on a better sharpening set. But, since at least some of the instruction I was given seems inaccurate, I thought I had better check before I spent a lot of money. | |
