Clay,
Thank you for the reply. If the holes were smaller maybe that would help. Anyway I am looking forward to recieving my WE and sharpening knives. I’ll start with kitchen knives because they are ones I don’t collect, then move on from there.
BobNash and cbwx, thank you too for your advise. One of my small pocket knives is in d2, a queen small stockman (handle length 3.25) the small spade blade is only 3/8 inch tall and d2 is kinda hard, but by time I get to it I’ll have sharpened a few knives and believe it won’t be too bad.
I look forward to reading this forum and chatting more with experienced WE sharpeners in the future. There seems to be a ton of information to read, so that’s great.
