A couple more guys found knives to be sharpened. The medium side of the stone would re-establish the bevel angle if needed easier than I thought because it removes hard steel at a nice rate. The kitchen knives only took a couple passes each side for two reasons, First, they are in pretty good shape to begin with and Second, they are very thin. When we have the breakfast crew building omelette's at sunrise with fresh grilled sweet onions and red pepper, and Bob Lum's custom made "beef hash" I like to try and keeps the knives "race ready". In the end I was very pleased with the work the DMT double sided Diafold could do. I don't think it weighs much over an ounce or two and when folded the diamond is completely protected. I will continue to carry this tool in my kit because it works very well.
