>Yes, he's also writing guides and attaching sharpening videos to his ebay items. Very informative. I'll probably include a chunagura on the next order, he's selling them for cheap.

Interesting about bevels losing contact with very hard stones. I bought one pretty hard stone, but haven't tried it yet, will be sure to do so with chirping in mind. Thanks.

And yes, that 's what I meant. Ought things made from similar materials in similar geometries sharpen the same? Sounds like that's been your experience. Very interesting that you mention different bevel angles as a qualifier that could change the process.
