    Got a freebie from work today. It's a Norton Multi-Stone. No problem with knives and broadheads now!
    I've wanted one of these for 40+ years. It's got course, medium and fine stones.

    I have been using these stones to sharpen my work knives for over 40 years. They do an excellent job. Now I have one of my own...FINALLY!

    Nice! I used something like that when I worked at a butcher shop for a short time when I was younger. Works great. If you've wanted one for 40 years why didn't you just buy one like 39 years ago? :)

    Because
    A) there was always one at work.
    B) they have alway been expensive.
    C) I had a family to raise and that was a REALLY low priority
    D) I had a whetstone at home that worked fine.

    Freebies are goot, but it's hard to bead a DMT bench stone...

    We had 2 at work. One is in good condition the one my boss let me have looked pretty worn out. I cleaned it up and put the stones back in it. Now it's perfect again and it's mine, all mine, bahahahaha!!!!
    LOL
