whetstone

Been trying to get good at sharpening on whetstones for a while and just never got the hang of it. Deciding to get an easier system like the worksharp. Stones have barely been used. Trying to sell as a lot all at once. In order in the picture: Shapton #220 Glass Sharpening Stone HR (this one...

I'm Selling my Suehiro splash and go 300/1500 combination whetstone. Comes with plastic base like in the picture & small nagura. 1500 grit side will give you mirror finish to your blade/ edge. Unlike cerax, this stone is true splash and go. Used it couple of times. AUS$ 75 including PayPal...

Gday people, Putting out a bit of a feeler. wondering if anybody in AUS had either of these stones they potentially wanted to let go. Don’t really want to buy internationally as it’s quite a hassle. Either of these 2 would be cool. Morihei hishiboshi 1000 grit. Imanishi arashyama 1000...

They do have their ceramic stones in the 5000 grit. should i just go with that one? Another option is a King stone at 4000...

So, I talked to Jon, the owner of Japanese Knife Imports in california, and he told me that ceramic honing rods aren't good for your knife. I forget exactly why but he was pretty passionate about it and went into specifics that went over my head. So my question is, what's the best way to touch...

So, newbie to j-knives here. I read that you want to get a ceramic rod with them instead of a steel steel. Question is, what grit do you get? I normally see them at 1000,1500,2000. I was looking at the CKTG Black Ceramic Sharpening Rod 270mm from CKTG with stellar reviews that is a 2k grit...
