Stainless Steel is a rather soft metal - it would dull extremely fast
I've had my 4-piece small SCS for over a month now and my kief chamber is still practically empty!

Thanks for your answer
Probably under an ounce a month. But my screen is way finer than I expected. Almost contemplating to trade my 4-piece for a new 3piece

Well down in these parts, when one says, "Them 3pieces is slicker than goose shit!"
They usually mean it
Honestly, it was really nice- and nothing short of what you would expect from SCS. Heavy solid feel, spins smooth as butter, and the concave bottom collection area was very well machined and looked perfect. I did not buy, but it is a contender for a backup grinder purchase. If I could get a custom one, it would be cool to see one with a slightly deeper collection chamber.
I was looking at about a 2.x inch size of the 3-piece.

Well, I've had my Sharpstone (SS) 4-piece for a good few months now and still absolutely love the aesthetics of it. However, I have to admit, I think I actually like my 10 year old Grassleaf (GL) grinder better. ![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
My SS definitely trumps in terms of weight - it's much lighter, which is a bonus for carrying it around. I also prefer it's finer pollen screen, and really dig the colour choices available - but unfortunately that's where my preferences for the SS end.
The magnet on the GL is so much stronger, and the unit as a whole more heavy-weight, which for me makes the process of grinding feel that much more secure (I know, I'm kinda contradicting myself there aren't I!?). The teeth of the GL also seem much sharper, and the lid turns that much easier, it simply makes easier work of things and produces a finer, fluffier grind.
Now don't get me wrong - I still love my SS - I guess it's just a classic case of you get what you pay for. IMO the SS is a great grinder, and a definite step up from many of the cheaper-end grinders out there. However, it's in a completely different league to the Grassleaf.
I'd be really interested to hear how the GL compares to the higher end grinders like the SC and SCS - anyone!?

Time for a new grinder...what's the best? Haven't bought one in 15 years...
I want one made of quality material. I also don't want to worry about pieces of the finish or metal getting into my buds.
A screen and catcher is a must.
My headshop has Diamond Grind, EZ grinds, and Aerospaced...any of those good?

All the grandmas love my vintage nut grinder. Screens and pollen catchers can be a lot of work to maintain, so I prefer to let the kief roll around in the lower glass chamber and coat the ground material. My sifter box is now lonely and spiders have moved into it.

Which do u prefer? Why?
Those are both at my head shop...they were recommending diamond grind to me. They are all the same price range. I want the best material, quality, and the finest grind...

LOL I said it in the excerpt you quoted from me above:
I like the SCS- because it produces a great fine consistency I like using with my Plenty and other vapes.

My bad I meant to quote a different one...this is what wake and bake does, thanks pax.
Which do you prefer? Which is finer? I am going to go check these out this afternoon at my head shop.

I have SC and SCS and the spacecase gives me a slightly finer grind but not much tho.
If you are looking for a good quality grinder with a fine grind i would say go with a 2-piece small space case.
If you are looking for a grinder with a screen and catcher, made from the best material, quality > go with santacruzshredder

Sharpstone is high quality at a good price. Mine is a four-piece that has been on a five-year mission to explore the uncharted herbal territories and it's kicking ass and screen is still as tight as day one. I think it was less than $25. SCS is really really good, but I think overpriced.
