I used it new out of the packaging, and it left a finish a little south of the DMT 8k Mesh (3u, ~4k-5k JIS). The diamond surface seemed uniform and set firm in the plate, unlike some cheap diamond hones I have gotten that shed the diamond surface pretty fast. All in all, not a bad deal for the price. The plate is very thin, so it needs to be placed in a stone holder or on a block to be used easily.

I wanted to share with you my Stella Bianca bastard file, this model has a long cutting surface, very coarse teeth pattern, and according to the maker, is hardened to about 64 hrc.
I bought it after reading a topic on the old forum
http://www.cliffstamp.com/knives/forum/read.php?17,64834,64834][/url]
and I used it to reprofile a new Rinaldi hatchet, which only had a really thick and obtuse grind.
Even of fairly hard steel that dulled my previous file in an
heartbeat (silicon manganese tool steel, about 58hrc), it cut fast and clean, and in an hour or so I obtained a really nice cutting edge and a pile of perfect shavings, the file was still like new. In my limited experience, I've never seen a file working this good on hardened steel.
Next I used the file to regrind and thin a carbon steel Green River knife I handled from a blank a while ago, and it obviously worked perfectly fine on the even softer steel (54 to 56 according to the maker), but when I tried to do the same job on a Victorinox kitchen knife (stainless steel, about the same hardness AFAIK) the file started to skate and wasn't biting almost at all and the removal rate was poor.
I thought that maybe even minimal carbide content was enough to considerably slow down even the best files, simple testing done on similar hardness 12c27 (carbide volume and size more akin to simple carbon steel, the file hogged steel pretty weel compared to the similar but maybe more coarse grained X50CrMoV15) and on Spyderco VG10 (no bite at all) seems to confirm that.
That discovery was a bit of a bummer, but still a very good tool to manually reprofile any kind of carbon steel blade in my opinion, way faster than any stone I've ever had.]]> Millscale Product Review/Feedback Fri, 21 Jan 2022 20:37:20 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,168,168#msg-168 Sharpening of Three Knives (no replies) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,168,168#msg-168 jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Wed, 01 Sep 2021 03:58:59 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,162#msg-162 Harbor Freight 1x30" Belt Sander for Knife Sharpening (5 replies) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,162#msg-162 jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Fri, 09 Sep 2022 20:35:34 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,150,150#msg-150 Smith's dual grit oilstone review (5 replies) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,150,150#msg-150 I wrote this a while back said in the interest of not having to spend a lot of money for a decent stone.

Description: $8.46 plus sales tax, from Walmart in Florida. Course (100 grit) and Medium (240 grit), Aluminum Oxide.

Preparation: Place stone medium side up, under a desk lamp to warm the stone. Smear petroleum jelly on surface until the stone will not absorb anymore. This will keep your sharpening oil on the surface of the stone, instead of the sharpening oil running through the stone.

Usage: Put laxative mineral oil from the drug department on the medium side of the stone. Sharpen your knife or tool. When finished, add oil and work it with your fingers. The goal is to lift metal laden oil from the stone. Paper towel the stone dry.

Results and so on: The medium side seemed finer than a Norton fine India stone that I have. Norton India is also aluminum oxide. The internet says aluminum oxide stones will smooth up with use. I like 8 inch stones more than smaller stones. The stone is recommended for course work.

New sharpers should consider that a course stone makes a great first stone. For knives, I follow this stone with something finer, but that is not necessary.

Shaped like a duck’s foot, the Golden Stone is a compact, versatile sharpening device that automatically sets the proper sharpening angle. Hold it by the narrow end and place the scalloped end on a flat surface. Tilting the stone from side to side creates a 20-degree sharpening angle on the outer edges of the stone. All you have to do is keep the plane of your blade vertical and draw the edge alternately along each side to sharpen. Other features allow easy sharpening of scissors, serrated edges, and pointed objects and its suede carry case also acts as a non-slip tabletop pad. The Golden Stone is easily cleaned with household cleanser, a scouring pad, and water.

Made in USA.

This is very handy sharpening tool. Not only does it have the eclipse/cat-eye edges of the 701 Profile stones, you can set it on its wide side length-wise and set a 20* edge/micro-bevel. Lay it on it's edge horizontal, and you get a 12.5* angle. Nick Shabazz's video does an excellent review of this product also:
