Hello everyone
Having a #1200 bester and a rika #5000 which were advised to me in this site, and been practicing whenever possible for almost a year I´m getting more confident with my sharpening although still far from some of the excellent sharpening I see here, I got curious to try a coarser stone on a few very dull and chipped knifes i have here. I find that it takes quite a while to sharpen a dull blade with the 1200 Bester ( i only have stainless steel knives at the moment, maybe will try a carbon steel knife in the near future).
I would like to order from toolsfromjapan.com, they have the best prices, if you don't mind I would like your opinion on a coarser stone that sells on that site and that would go well with my other two stones.
Best Regards
