Thank you...so many videos spend 30+ minutes and involve buying more expensive stones...this video is great because it's simple enough to just get started.

Check the angle by eye ??? Come on , there is technology out there to check an angle precisely

No microbevel? that means polishing entire bevel everytime blade gets blunt. U might need to do a bit more research .
