With a growth in both my knife collection and demand of touching up family knives, I'm looking to upgrade my sharpening setup. I currently use a 2x4 laying across the sink and wanted something that won't slip when nudged or when applying extra force. Considering I rent an apt, a sink bridge that works for this kitchen might not fit the next sink I move in; so I was thinking of something more universal like a cambro setup.
1) If you soak your stones in the same container that you sharpen over, any concern of different grit stones sitting in the swarf runoff? I assume if the pan is big enough/sharpening performed is small, the swarf is diluted enough that, for lack of a better term, grit contamination would not be an issue.
2) You ever have issues with the sides of the pan getting in the way of your hands of knife (stones level or angled away)? I've got a 270mm gyuto that I'm a little concerned about banging the tip into the sides.
