I have the Swix edger 2x2. Once my base and edge bevels are set, what should I use to keep the edge sharp? I saw that Swix offers the "carving kit 1" that includes square inserts that look like diamond stones with the edger 2x2. I assume they fit into the edger 2x2. However, I can't seem to find them sold separately. I've been using the less abrasive side of the Swix dual-sided pocket stone to fine-tune/sharpen my edges before waxing, but it's difficult to control the angle. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

The stone is meant to be used before sharpening the edges to remove burrs in the edges. Nothing will keep your edges sharp other than avoiding ice and rocks. You just need to tune them periodically, which is what this tool is for. The diamond stone inserts are just regular diamond stones which fine tune and smooth the remaining tiny burrs the pocket stone leaves behind. So the order you use them is; pocket stone, diamond stone, then the edger.
