Sharpening is always this way for me, the key is to keep trying, every time until the job is done.
It's not all champagne and caviar around here either.

Mr. Harsey...
So comforting to hear you admit that. I began to believe that I was going to require a ride on the short bus to a sharpening school for the gifted.
I've only used my Spyderco Tri-Angle sharpener in the past. I haven't purchased the stones that you've mentioned yet, but I did try my DMT diamond whetstones recently and have had many trials and frustrations with them. I must say, though, that after much patient practice, I am able to get my knives to hair-popping sharpness finally. I can't imagine how these things will cut when I finally break down and buy the stones that you suggest.
This is good info...thanks!!!
