  1. Why mess around?
  2. What's the coarsest stone in your set?

  3. Why not?

    Depending on what you sharpen, you may not need to flatten very often at all. Occasional conditioning/resurfacing can be nice, though, and just about anything coarser than the stone being conditioned will work. As often as not I use a 3" pocket stone like this one to resurface clogged Shaptons. Usually you can just increase sharpening pressure and spray a little water and the stone will unstick itself.

    Loose SiC grit on glass/granite is better than any "flattening stone", which will itself eventually go out of flat (unless you buy 3 and flatten against each other).
