If you're looking for a granite piece for a flat surface, I found a countertop store in my area that gives away the sink cutouts that are leftover. If not free, many will sell those at a greatly reduced price!😎
Hey David…great knife set! I’m going to order a set of the diamond stones and wanted to see if you thought there was any reason to go lower than 300 grit for setting initial secondary bevels? It’s probably not necessary on culinary blades like these with almost full flat grinds..just wondering about thicker blades. Ultra sharp doesn’t make anything more coarse but DMT does have a 120 grit diamond stone. Just wanted your opinion on whether the lower grit stone was worth the extra $85 or if 300 sets bevels quick enough on thicker blades?
Hey, thanks for watching! I personally don't think there's much of a need to go more coarse than 300-grit. I've sharpened plenty of thicker knives like cleavers and bowies starting with the 300-grit stone just fine. You might save yourself a minute or two by starting with a 120-grit stone, so if that's worth the cost then I'd say go for it. If someone gave me a 120-grit stone I'd certainly use it, but I wouldn't buy one myself.
I can't promise it won't destroy your bank account! 😛 It's a Coal Iron Works 12-ton press. It's pretty awesome. I'm totally happy with it. I'd love to upgrade to a digital press controller so I don't need to mess around with all the different size kiss blocks.
Gorgeous set of knives. I'd give a neighbor's left kidney for a set like that.

Is that a diy press?
No, it's the Coal Ironworks 12-ton press.
Where did you get the press? I've been looking for a small one that won't destroy my bank account
