Orange for $ 3.86

The available grits .. 360 & 600 .. are a great mix for field use.

The 360 grit is capable of field repair of a nicked or damaged edge.

The 600 grit will provide a very serviceable edge !!

The balisong design provides a compact tool while retaining a large abrasive surface.

$ 5.oo

I used the 3K on my Russell Woodswalker .. it put a nice smooth edge on it.

I supported the diamond whetstone on a similar size 3/4" thick pc of wood.

I suggest .. running something over the edges. Like the break-in you mentioned. There existed a couple "high spots" along the very edges. They mellowed out quick enough after running my home made FF over the edge closest to me.

I then put a pretty smooth edge on the Woodswalker .. AUS-8 tempered to a 58 +/-1 HRC.

Let me know what you think of yours.

Still waiting, Dale.
I'm guessing that you now prefer the continuous coverage stones?

Had never tried a partial coverage before ..&.. likely, never will again.

!! . YES . !! ... on the full coverage preference.

...... am writing it (partial coverage 1K) off as a ..relatively.. cheap lesson.

Am sorry you're still waiting for yours.

Based on what use I've already implemented .. my 2K & 3k whetstones

You'll be pleased.

Enjoy

Dale

Mine are in...

Haven't done much but see that they were all here, but they look good. Can't get in to a long sharpening session, tonight, so I'll have to wait till the weekend to see how they stack up.
