Hi!
Today I have a Bester 1200 and a Suehiro Rika 5000. As of yet I never really needed to thin, ground out a deep chip or re-profile etc - and I also regularly maintain my knifes and therefore never really needed any thing more coarse than my 1200. But sometimes when I help my mom or my uncle or some friends with their (super)dull knifes I wish I had a more coarse stone. Thing is, I was planing to buy an Atoma 400 or 600 anyway to flatten my stones - you guys think the Atoma will be enough for initial sharpening or should I get a 400 or 700 stone that has more 'feel' to it? And what 400-700 stones to you recommend? I live in Sweden so I would prefer a European vendor.
Thx
