Hey guys,
I brought this up in my introduction thread, but wanted to start a new one for a few more opinions and questions.
About two weeks ago I purchased this 1000/6000 grit stone from Sur la Table:
http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-504761/Shun-Whetstone-Grit
I actually got it for $70 with my student discount.
I've sharpened my Mercer school issue chef knife on it, as well as a 7-inch Shun Classic Asian cooks knife. Don't plan on touching putting my Carter Gyuto on it until I have a lot more experience.
So, my questions are, what are your overall thoughts on the stones?
TIA!
They seem like they were a pretty good value, are there any other stone vendors you would recommend?
I'm going to need a Diamond Flattening Steel (I think that's what they're called) at some point. Does anyone have any recommendations on those?
