soaking stones
How does this step always get blown over?
It's such a fucking hassle.
I only use mine for my garden knife now and just drips a bit of water on it and crack on. Unless I have a very specific job like repairing an old chisel or something, then I go to the effort.
At least the Lansky stones can be chucked in a glass of water (together if you're doing a couple of grits).

Do it.
Like you I CBA to learn another nerdy technique. The Horl is quick, simple and effective. Doesn’t require soaking stones etc. Doesn’t need knives to be sent off either. The one downside is you are limited to 15 or 17 degree angles. So if your blades are different you may need to spend some time getting them to one of those two options. But once done it’s so easy.
