Possibily a stupid question

But since the wheel rotates as you hone, it should wear fairly evenly. I suppose if you were using an unflat stone A LOT you could wear the wheel unevenly…but if you’re using an extremely unflat stone, you’re going to have problems anyways!

I’d say you’re probably overthinking this… :)

Longer than you will. Biggest thing on a tool like this is to make sure the wheel is oiled frequently, if not the wheel may stop and you would get a flat spot (they sell replacement wheels if this ever happens).

Other than that I would not worry about it.

Hi Bryan,

If you wear it out, I’ll replace it…!

Cheers,
