I'm looking for recommendations to get set up for sharpening the knives I'll be acquiring in the future. Looking to spend 150ish usd and I'm in the us), but I'd be a bit flexible if I'm going to need to order something in the future and it will keep me from having to pay more in shipping. I currently have a Tojiro gyuto and petty, a Victorinox chef's knife, a few other odds and ends wusthof paring knife/dexter russel boning knife type things, but plan to move towards more J-knives in the future, and want to try out a carbon steel knife in the short-mid term. Only looking for home cooking for 2 usage, so I'm not going to be putting heavy use on the stones. Not sure what other info would be helpful, but I'll answer questions the best I can as they come up!
TL;DR question is what I need to get started sharpening my own knives and have it be a pleasant experience where I'm not fighting my equipment. I don't even know what I don't know, but I've watched the JKI youtube series on sharpening and would be brushing up again before giving it a go and am enthusiastic about learning. If budget is unreasonable, I might buy in chunks or I might be willing to sacrifice other expenses for a bit to make prep work more pleasant for myself.
