Recieved my new F/S system Saturday. I broke the new stones in on a couple of old knives, then on to my Benchmade 940-2. It has hair whittling edge now and a mirror edge. The next one will be even better.
Congratulations! Glad you like it. Please note that it will take a couple of knives for the stones to break in.
I think Mark meant to say that it would take more than a couple of knives to “break-in” your stones. I expect to go through ten to twenty knives, depending on their length and hardness. Occasionally, a particularly stubborn stone may take much longer.
That’s correct. Breaking in is a continous process, so it will get better and better.
