from inporter of zwilling .honestly I think you can get a better knife than a Miyabi for 110 where did you get it from?
+1the king 1000/6000 or other combo not sure of the grit # is a good cheap starter stone
I'd love more recommendations of knifvies for 100-160$ -
I think you need to keep the knife and learn to sharpen.
I don't think it's a great idea to learn sharpening with a soft stainless. It has some peculiar issues that require techniques you won't use with other steel types. Better have a thin basic carbon steel for learning, as an Opinel "au carbone", or a simple Robert Herder.

Soft stainless has a high abrasion resistance and is problematic for its tenacious burrs and wire edges. For thinning and sharpening I use a coarse stone (J300) with an uncommon amount of pressure, and deburr on a 2k by abrading, no chasing. No stropping. I don't remove the 300 scratches, no usual progression.
