Excellent show Bob. Great input on sharpening systems. When I started out I had to buy whatever I was reading about at that time and finally read a post that pretty much told me to quit searching and use one system and tweak it until it all worked for me. Would’ve saved a pile of money had I read that earlier, however possibly I needed to try them all to settle. Thanks for your time and expertise.
Thanks!
