: In my opinion the waterstones cut MUCH better and put a much finer
: edge than scary sharp, but they are a bit messier and as someone
: replied earlier, you have to always dress the stones to keep
: them flat.

Btw, you can avoid alot of this by using the newer type "wetstone" which isn't a stone at all, rather a metal surface with industrial diamonds as the abrasive. They work quite well and are much easier to maintain.
