Recurves spyderco triangle stones

Has anyone mounted or used triangle shaped stones on the edge profor recurves or just sharpening in general. The spyderco sharpmaker Stones work well. I assume with just using the point of the stone it would follow the recurves well.

Re: Hair Whittling Sharp

I assume my grit progression is fine then I kind of thought I may have to big a jump between the 2000 ep and .5 spray so what's the next level I need to jump too?
