Nice Stone [Posted on 2007-07-03]
Large stone is expensive, but given the size, well worth the $.
Cuts worn plane and chisel blades nicely.
Good prep for the fine / medium stone.

Great stone [Posted on 2007-10-28]
Not much to say about a sharpening stone except that this is one of those tools that you don't want to scrimp on. The DMT is well made and makes short work of chisels and plane blades, if I ever had to buy another stone, this would be it. Don't forget the fine/extra fine stone, they complement each other. The stand is also great to give your knuckles some clearance; it's just a plastic jobby, or you could just as easily make your own.

Diamond Sharpening Stones [Posted on 2007-12-20]
I have used the coarse 6" (blue) stone and all grits of the folding smaller stones(red/green, and blue/black), and they are quick cutting, do not require any oil, and have kept my knives sharp for years. I prefer the 10", but the price is steep.
However, there is no substitute for putting a good edge on garden tools and high carbon steels of all kinds (including D2 steel). They also make a credit card sized "stone", with which you can sharpen a blade anywhere (with a little care because of the size).

It takes a bit of use and breaking-in, which is a brief process, before the stone is at its best.
