Thanks a lot for the advice. I will definitely look to get a diamond plate now, especially as it will probably require less maintenance than a flattening stone (which can dish and can itself require flattening). Also, I can probably get away with a single plate - I was looking to get at least 2 different grit flattening stones.

If cheap plates work, then they're surely the better option. Are the ultra-level DMT Dia-Flat plates for ridiculously high-grit stones (like the Shapton 30,000) or something? What kind of stone needs to be flattened so perfectly?

I'm not massively knowledgeable about knife sharpening, but i know enough to know that belt sanders are not kind on your knives. I'm not massively bothered if I mess up my knives whilst learning - I'm going to practise on my old, cheap knives. Also, a knife edge can be completely reshaped if you get it disastrously wrong, so I'm more worried about taking care of the stones.

Good point. Also, you introduced cats into the thread.
