I've been seeing this question pop up around the internet world but really hasn't been answered to my satisfaction yet so I'm hoping someone here knows. These are the stones in question (the two at the bottom of page 1)http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Products/Sharpening_Tools/
What is the practical difference between the ceramic stone and the original sandstone one? Is one really any better than the other? Would ceramic last longer and keep a flatter surface?
Sorry for all the questions but I would really like to know from those of you that have these, or from anyone that has knowledge of the differing properties of the two materials.
In the past I've used ones from Lansky and others but found they wore down too quickly for my liking.
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
