So you got a laser and you want it to stay that way. Well, the tough answer is that it's just going to need to be thinned when enough material is removed through normal edge sharpens over time.

Let's talk about it!

We always warn viewers about diamond honing rods, but let's dive into that a bit more. It's possible that in the right hands it could be a useful tool, but in the hands that fix the damage they cause, they might choose not to use it on their own.
