Billabong do you consider these to be defective to the point where you are asking for replacements?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the input.

I'm close to pulling the trigger on the MF ceramics as a solution to my 'problem' but for the asking price I want to make sure I'm not buying a pocketful of aggravation.

So here's my question: my two ceramic honing rods load up quickly with swarf and have to be scrubbed clean with cleanser to restore the bite.

Same deal with these MF ceramics, or would I be pleasantly surprised?

Thx

Mike

I'm guessing these are an effort to avoid stress risers at the mounting holes for those with Granite bases? I doubt they are needed for the paperstone base.

That looks about like what I'm after. I want arm-shaving sharp with the least amount of time invested.

What would be ideal is if the MF ceramics would remove much of the toothiness without giving me another burr to chase.

Thanks

Hi All
New here and new owner of the Pro Pack 1. I've modded it with washers and starbucks straws to eliminate all slop and feel like I'm good to go.

I'm wanting to take some of the tooth off after progressing to the 1000 grit plate. My plates are still new-ish and leaving lots of tooth. Will the supplied strops and compounds do the job after my diamond plates wear in a bit?
Or would I see some real benefit to buy the micro-fine stone set for use after the 1000 grit? I'm sharpening better quality Chef's knives with a typical claimed HRC of 58 - 62.

Thanks!
