sharpening wear resistant steel

[memorael]

I've tried this type of "stone" and I own a 500 grit. They definitely cut most any steel and the experience is more stone-like but they are also prohibitively expensive to be a mainstream thing.

So the verdict is they will cut anything but the price is to killer to make them something for everyone? I guess if your using those steels maybe it would pay off. Maybe someone (ahem... Jon) knows something about a similar product that isn't 300 or 400 bucks.

Ah i was intrested in these stones when i saw them. Longevity wise is it likely to be more or less than the diamond plates?
