I just found a KING #6000 waterstone for a good price here in London that measures 178mm x 52mm x 15mm. (comes attached to a base) {£20 @ Japann Centre}
The closest I can find in price is a #6000 grit at 190mm x 63mm x 19mm for almost twice the price {£35 at Tyzack}
The stone I have already (combi #240/#1000) is the same smaller size (178x52mm) which I have found fine to use, though I have never known any different.
Will I come to regret buying the smaller, cheaper stone, or should I spend the extra money for the slightly larger one?
[buying the smaller would give me budget to buy a #4000 if I came to feel that I needed it, also at about £20]
[this is for honing a CarboNext 210 gyuto and I am a beginner, sharpening wise, but using the 240/1000 stone has so far felt ok]
Thanks!
Robert
