Q - What’s your thoughts on using this Venev stone in 80+150 to reprofile knives? I’ve seen many reviews about this stone being great for finishing edges, but I’m looking for a great reprofiling stone. The reviews I’ve seen on YouTube (not always trustworthy) state this stone isn’t nearly as aggressive for reprofiling such as what you can get from the KME 150 grit. Thoughts…
A - Your best re-profiling hand stones will always be diamond plates. You can't beat them, and they are very inexpensive. They won't last forever and can't have their surface reconditioned over time but they are the best for re-profiling and chip repair jobs. Even just the cheap Chinese lower grit diamond plates work very well. After you've done the re-profiling work on a new or damaged knife, it's hard to beat Venev stones for finesse and speed of cutting. But yes, they are not designed to be re-profiling work horses. They'll do the job, but a diamond plate is certainly more aggressive due to the diamonds protruding much more from the surface of the plate.
