Hi,
I am in the UK and a seller has lots of different grade Welsh Slate stones at what seem like very good prices. What are your views on this type of stone, I guess it may vary from seller to seller as well?
Are they worth trying? Just the fairly low cost is making think about the quality.
I have sharpened my limited knife collection with basic equipment over the years to a pretty good level that I find ok but obviously not up to the level that most on here would get. Are the Slate stones ok for someone who understands the basics of stone sharpening is by no means an expert:O
I have also just started on what will probably be a long road into the world of Japanese knives, so whatever stones I buy would be used mainly for Japanese knives if that makes a difference?
Any advice greatly appreciated:biggrin:
Just as I am typing a courier has just delivered a Hiromoto AS from JCK, wow 3 days from ordering, great service
