Title: Totally worthless for knife sharpening
Review: The title is misleading in the extreme. this is a book about how to grind tools. It is also about building simple jigs. It has hardly anything about waterstones. It basically consists of telling you that they are used wetted with water and build up a slurry and that you should go from a coarse to a medium to s smooth stone. Well no kidding! No mention of a Nakura stone to produce extra slurry on a fine stone. No suggestions on holding a consistent angle while freehand sharpening. One good thing it tells you is that synthetic stones may be a better choice than natural stones.If you sharpen a great deal of tools instead of knives (I don't) this may be a good read. For others, it is completely worthless.
