It's a very sweet system that comes with many different stones and allows you to upgrade to very very high grit stones and leather strops with diamond lapping compound. With some practice you can achieve mirror polished edges with perfectly flat bevels. We love the wicked edge, but it is very time consuming. At 37:20 I show and describe how I am making custom stop pins to fix a few knives that lock up way too far, I goofed up on a few of them so this is a great way to save them. I was able to use my Tormach mill set up as a lathe to make them out of 17-4PH stainless steel, really good ...
