Lapping Films
Diamond Lapping Film is a new sharpening option which produces results approaching Water Stones, but at an affordable price.
For those just starting with Wicked Edge, Water Stones can be a challenge to learn to use.
Lapping films are an excellent alternative.
Lapping films comes in pre-cut strips that fit on a Wicked Edge Handle with a glass platen.
These come in a variety of grits from 9-.01 microns.
For starting, I recommend 6 and 3 micron strips - roughly equivalent to 2000 and 4000 grit Water Stones.
A set of Lapping Films and Glass Platen Handles is only $94.50.
