Comment on YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick
Krudler@lemmy.world 12 hours agoNow you’ve got me wondering what kind of materials are cheap as hell, come flat out of the production line, and are still more durable than the steel you’re sharpening.
This whole convo has got me thinking!

Well that is why I thought slate tiles. Really any kind of tile is fairly cheap per unit and they are mass produced with the expectation that most people are buying them in larger quantities than 1. I would doubt you can go much cheaper than that unless you are just taking stone and working it yourself, but then you are going to want a lot more tools.

Oh yes, I didn’t say it but I agree with your idea of slate, I personally would love to try it even though I know that will never happen!
I suppose what I meant is, in my experience, there are so many different materials made for so many different industries… a lot of times one exists already for extremely cheap in a place you just wouldn’t think to look.
