The title pretty much says it all.
From what I gather one needs sharpening stone(s), flattening stone, stone holder with something to keep it stable (pad, fixture or otherwise). What else?
I've recently got my first quality knife and I was wondering how much would it cost me to get into sharpening myself. (I'm in Canada)
Second question: Should I get a "practice" knife to get the hang of it? If so, a new inexpensive knife or a used beat-up knife?
Thanks in advance.
