Diamonds are popular gemstones surrounded by popular misconceptions. We'll tell you how they became so prized and debunk some of those diamond myths, too.
Yeah diamonds are actually really garbage with a really good PR campaign, artificial scarcity, and PR. I remember some years back when they were really pushing “chocolate diamonds.” They were just brown diamonds that they couldn’t get rid of otherwise. I don’t know if it worked, but I don’t think so.
Haha I have 6K and 1K stone, then diamond 400 for rough edges and 150 for leveling the stone. Appreciate the concern though, the state of some people’s knifes makes me uneasy

Big diamonds are actually rare. Still inflated.
Garbage? They’re pretty fucking hard. That’s a useful property
Great for drill bits and my knife sharpener
Please tell me you use ceramic for the knife sharpner 90% of the time?!?

As long as you understand that carbon steel blades/bits can and will dissolve the diamond right out of your sharpener.
The steel is hungry and cares not from where the carbon flows.
