 Re: Another knife sharpening thread .... be nice!

I feel that I'm in the minority among oboists. Or maybe I'm a speaking up for the silent majority - I just don't want to have to use four to six different stones to make my knife work. I have a Spyderco Double Stuff stone - they don't indicate an exact grit but one side is very fine and the other is an even finer ceramic. And that's pretty much all I use. I've just put up a blog post and a video about the way I use this stone - it's less scientific than many other approaches I've seen but I love the simplicity and it works for me. And I'm very high volume, reed wise, so I do have to keep the knife optimal pretty much all the time...
