    New chopping board - which wood?

    Do I need a whetstone and if so, which one [AUS]

    Long story cut short - I've lived with a set of Mundial knives (CroMo steel) for 12 years and in that time have used two guided systems to sharpen - a cheap EdgePro Apex knock-off and more recently a nice Hapstone M2 system. For both, I was using genuine Edge Pro stones (400 & 1000 grit) exactly...
