I have one DMT 6 inch bench stone, Fine grit(red).<br><br>I was trying to sharpen my CRKT Ignitor the other evening and the fine stone just didn't seem to be getting me anywhere.<br><br>I'm wondering if I should buy a medium DMT benchstone, or if I would be better advised to invest in the plates/adhesive/glue needed for the "Scary Sharp" approach?<br><br>I have no experience with the SS method, and I pretty much suck at using stones. I need to attend one of Mike's workshops sometime.<br><br>Aside from various knives, I'm planning to get a few wood chisels for a project, and obviously those will need to be kept sharp as well.<br><br>I know the full diamond plates are pretty much regarded as "the nuts", but truth be told, the budget is a mite tight for them. <br><br>Opinions/comments appreciated!<br><br>
