It makes the assumption that the quantity of tools to go in it is finite, but as you will have amply discovered by now, it takes no account of the 'Slope' An immaculately filled cabinet will always cry out for one more (or several, or lots!)

I have not however noticed any problem with sharpening. The same thing will happen from excessive grinding on sandpaper or in some cases off a grinder. All that will happen is that some of the metal filings from the swarf on the stone will be attracted to theKari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-15096945218904404912009-07-02T11:58:29.034-04:002009-07-02T11:58:29.034-04:00Kari... you clearly have too much time on your han...Kari... you clearly have too much time on your hands.
