>>2633898>A lot of higher end sharpening stones contain diamond, which obviously makes them more expensiveTool grade diamonds aren't actual diamonds though. They're just pieces of processed carbon with a density that's comparable to diamond. Pic related is a type of "diamond" based sharpener
>Imagine thinking sharpening a knife on a $1 chinkshit aluoxide concrete brick that swallows endless amounts of water is as satisfying or yields the same results as sharpening on a $400 premium Toishi Japanese natural whetstone.That has more to do with grain density and buying some abysmally low quality chinese crap. That problem literally stops existing the moment you remember not to buy the absolute cheapest stone from wish. Even some $5 stone from a hardware store won't have that issue as long as you understand what you need regarding grain density
