Lisek, thanks for the comment. I don’t want to dismiss Shred Mom, but Northstar is coming off as more credible to me.

Funny thing I was looking more closely at my “The Sharper Edge” image and noticed the stone was flat on the base as well. I’m breaking my macro gear out this evening (I hope) to shoot some photos for another (long past due) article and will grab my skis and see if I can get a good edge photo to replace it with. I truly appreciate you taking time for the comment and the helpful critique!

Thanks for posting about this- hard to tell yet what actually happened, but… Please consider changing the picture you are using for “The Sharp Edge”, this one hurts my eyes, since someone is totally misusing the tool – the angle for bottom edge comes from the metal plate on which the diamond stone should lay and on this picture someone is just hurting their base with 0 deg…
Cheers!

It’s Northstar California. It just kind of looks bad on your report here….
