The Atoma 140 came in the mail today. I’ll try it out on a few knives and let you guys know the results.

Ryan,
Awesome. I always wanted to see the difference between a DMT and an Atoma plate, especially in a 1x6" for fixed systems. I have found that the Venev stones that were super coarse worked well, it would be interesting to see what is best for resetting bevels. I think it would be nice to make a 1x6" Norton Crystolon, which seems to be a great bevel resetter, maybe even the best one I have come across.

First thoughts on the Atoma after grinding some VG-10 (Spyderco Street Bowie) and the 154CM on the Pro Tech:

This thing is really aggressive, especially when you consider the low pressure used. I wouldn’t want to actually apex the knife with this, you’d burn up a lot of steel. It looks like it would be a good idea to get the 400 and/or 600 to do regular maintenance on an existing edge bevel, the 140 is just too much unless you’re changing angles.
