I've used a stone my Dad used. I'm 64 so the stone is older than I am.

I don't find the old stone and oil difficult or time consuming.

Of course, I prefer carbon steel blades. I have no interest in stainless blades.

My preference for good old stones is tied to my preference for NON stainless blades.

I have no opinion about how to sharpen stainless steel blades, since my experience is that they are hard to sharpen and don't hold an edge reliably. I don't use them.

Just my experience, of course.
