@Expidia Thank you – yes, it’s hard to take it slow when I’ve seen the results it can do. Local thrift stores sell old clothing for a fortune here but that’s about it – certainly no knives – I’ll just buy some cheapies. When the low angle adapter arrives I’ll be able to get those small angles of kitchen knives.

@MarcH Good to know – I was getting slightly confused with the thought of having to go back to a lower coarseness when the medium changed but it all makes sense now.

@sksharp – thanks for the info. I received my Gen 3 Pro with 100 through to 1000 diamond, 1200/1600 ceramic and the 4/2 micron diamond emulsion leather strops with the microfine ceramic stones purchased but haven’t arrived yet. I’ve spent hours studying various videos and bolstered with (in)competence have sharpened my first knife – a Benchmade Fact. I realize the low angle adapter will do a better job so have ordered that now too. Edge is fine and sharp but not mirror polished and will have a play on some other knives with more of a flat blade to gain purchase on the knife first. Well, when the bleeding stops on my thumb which had a slight ‘accident’ (carelessness on my part).

Clay,

That’s perfect. I have a ton of reading to do (so many options).

Any tips/pointers on the FFG question?
