Here are my DMT stones and ceramic stone I will be carrying with my new Regulator. I agree that diamonds can be rough on SR101 steel, but the extra fine didn't seem to do anything but touch up the edge I put on my Regulator. I was able to get a mirror finish on my come-as-is edge in about 10 minutes with this set-up, plus my leather belt. I probably won't have to use the coarse or even the fine DMT unless I do some serious labor with this knife. Probably just some ceramic and x-fine DMT touch ups will do.



The stones fit all the way in the pouch with nothing hanging out. I feel confident they will not fall out.
