It was worth a shot!
At any rate, I cannot find a sharpening stone at any of our music stores in Perth (I was lucky to even get the knife!), hence my eagerness to use what I had, but we have a very large surplus/disposal store near us (if that's not the term others use, its a military/camping/outdoors store). They have a large assortment of diamond and arkansas stones. What questions should I ask to make sure its appropriate for my uses, or is there a certain 'grade' I should ask for?
I would wait until I'm in the US in August to get one from a double reed store, but there is no way my knife will be useable by then. Alternatively, I could order from Forrests, who are always wonderful dealing with international orders, providing the shipping isn't too high.
