What adhesives are generally recommended when glueing stones together? I am considering glueing a shapton rockstar to a glass backing, or potentially even glueing two shapton rockstar stones back to back to create a combo stone and provide some support for each other after some wear. Any...

I was wondering what people's preferences were for stone size for sharpening kitchen knives, particularly stone width. I've been playing around with a few different sizes this year. Most full size bench stones tend to be 8"X3" (~205x75mm), but some as narrow as 2.5" (66mm) and others as wide as...

I am currently considering sealing the sides of one of my synthetic lower grit stones in an effort to make it less thirsty. I have heard cashew laquer recommended but I am having some trouble finding local availability in the UK or import. Does anyone have any recommendations for what would be...

So each time I thin a knife by hand on stones my dodgy elbow tendons start protesting about 30-45mins in. Also even with the coarsest fastest stones, it feels like it takes too long to remove a significant amount of material. I was wondering what are my options for thinning knives with...

Alot of discussion takes place around what stone people enjoy sharpening on, but I wanted to ask what steel people enjoy sharpening the most. Which one is most pleasurable and does that change with your stone? What is your favourite steel & stone combo?

I recently got a soft ark and I've been enjoying it so far. It looks beautiful and feels great. It cut really slow however on soft stainless and carbon, and it did basically nothing on SG2. Is there anything I can do to speed up the abrasion rate, like lap the stone with a diamond plate or...
