Does anyone know what I should get to properly flatten my waterstones with because they have developed an irregular surface from all the use they've had.
you need to get something that is easy to use because they should be cut back/flattened almost as often as you run your knife over them. I use diamond plates, some folk who have 2 grits rub one stone against the other in a circular motion. I suspect those cheap diamond plates you get from aldi and the likes would work OK.
i have a 1200 grit and an 800 grit waterstone and both are far from flat but i have no problem using them effectively, is a flat stone really necessary!!
