How long do the diddy stones supplied with these kits actually last?

I bought mine at ~4yrs ago. I was away for one of those years. Here is the current state of wear. Corse/left to fine/right.

As I said I use the corse for shaping things. I find that you tend to use every other one more - if that makes sense?

Interesting. You can’t get a good edge with a dished stone if you’re hand sharpening, but if the knife is held more or less perpendicular to the stone, as with this system, it must matter less.

The reality is I can almost never go the whole length of a blade.

If you look on the link I posted earlier discussing the different types of holder, it maybe better to ask there as they seem to like that kit.
