Hi! I've been sharpening since I was 14 on a cheap 320 stone and a new cerax #1000, and looking to replace the #320 stone and add a Rika 5K.
I have a Yoshikane SKD Gyuto and a Nobuhisa Nakiri made of some carbon steel that I want to add the Rika for, as well as get stones for sharpening the cheap stainless knives at home as well as thin the carbon steels.
Any recommendations for the #320 Stone?
I'm looking at the 320 Cerax since I permasoak my stones, and wondering if the #700 Cerax would benefit me at all.
My planned progressions:
Carbon steels: #1000 cerax -> #5k Rika
Stainless: #320 cerax -> #700 cerax? -> #1000 cerax
Thanks for the help!
