Glad you found a system that works for you
 I've sharpened over 5K knives in the last 20 years for people on the Syderco sticks. 3.00 a pop, that's a lot of coin over the years helping people just like you with this simple kit.

1. Do you sharpen with or without oil on the sticks?
2. Whats your average pass per stone (I know it depends on the steel)?

Average pass, as you suggested, it depends on the condition of the blades primary and secondary edges, the steel and the heat treat. Usually I'll take a butter knife to scary sharp in 5 minutes using the diamond stones first, then the course ceramics. If it's sharper than a butter knife, less time.

I don't use oil on any of the sticks. Just clean 'em with Comet and a scouring pad when done

Thanks.
I have not used the Sharpmaker for a while (have not needed to do so), I only usually dull up my work edc blade (Ripple). I just sharpen that one on the "Chef's Choice" sharpener (works well and fast). This thread has inspired me on using the Spyderco SM again, thanks.
