Wet stones?

[McClain]

If you are looking for a system that will last you forever and one you can pass down, use what many slaughterhouses and meat markets have used for years -- get a Norton tri-stone Arkansas system. I would suggest either the model IM313 or IM313CIS. There are also other models to choose from.

I have a tool box full of different stones and have used them for years.

Then one day my son gave me one of these and it's all I use now.

Simple, keeps our blade at the right angle and has it all. Coarse and finishing sharpeners and ceramic and leather.

Try it.

Do you have a Woodcraft store around you anywhere? They have a great selection of whetstones.
