Oh and I have a couple DMT folding 4 inch hones as well, in course and fine. And a Smiths course diamond stone Patty bought me over 20 years ago and it's STILL going strong!

I have and use the DMT hones as well. I had them long before I started at Scrap Yard.

OK, I have several different methods; diamond stones, Japanese water stones, pull-through type sharpeners, 1' x 30" belt grinder, 4' X 36" belt grinder, Smith's sharpening kits, and ceramic stones.

When I was in high school, I used my grandfather’s oil stone. Then I bought a set of Arkansas oil stones. I used them for many years until I bought a KME sharpening set. I have a Ken Onion Work Sharp for my long knives and machetes. For chisels, carving tools and plane irons, I have a set of diamond stones. For my Japanese kitchen knives, I have a set of Japanese water stones and some Shapton glass stones. For my straight razors, I have a Belgian Coticule, a Nakayama Kiita Kan Koppa, an Ozuku mizu blue tomae, and an Asano Stamped MIkawa Shiro Nagura Set. Since I like the results of a good sharpening but absolutely hate the pure tedium of sharpening, I have been trying to convince my wife to do the sharpening for me. Nothing I can do will convince her. Anybody have any good suggestions?

Ray, tell your wife she can have more time to work in the garden and shovel snow when appropriate.

If I can’t find any plants, no garden this year. I’m going to teach her how to paint the house,
