Stones are the perfect choice for sharpening knives and other fine tools. Many professionals and hobbyist can attest. With multiple grits, progressing from coarser to finer, and options with either a high-grade or good-enough-to-work-with material, stone sharpening produces precise and accurate edges with each stroke.
