Sounds right, JDW.
Mike - I believe there's been many threads on this topic, i wouldn't be surprised if they stretched back to 2002!
I was only referring to the one I started because A. it was pretty recent and B. I remembered it because I started it because I wanted to know which was considered best. I got my answer, I bought the Hosford, and yeah, I DO think it's probably the best, so it all worked out!
I couldn't be happier with getting the one that was recommended on that thread! I'm right with JDW, or rather Montana. The Hosford IS the best tool for me. Still got all my fingers, so the proof is in the pudding, right?
Please don't think that my post here was made out of rancor, bitterness or spite. Not at all. I just couldn't help being curious, that's all.
