I currently have nice chosera 1k, naniwa SS 5k, shapton pro 8k, and very fine coticule/jnat. (these stones I got for straight razors, I buy and sell them on occasion so 1k-8k set of stones are nice). Only nice knife I have is a 125$ ish carbon steel gyuoto I picked up. It has been fine though and all I have had to do is do stropping strokes on jnat to keep it sharp, not wanting to use it as practice knife atm.
I have a bunch of cheap house knives laying around that need sharpening and wanted recommendation on what stone to get to remove chips/dings from knife (also wanting to practice my knife sharpening). Think it would be worth getting a 220-800 grit stone for removing dings and small chips in the knives, or just stick with the 1k until dings are out.
Can use my chosera on knives but would rather practice on a cheap stone while practicing with cheap knives.
I understand there is only so much someone can learn on cheap tools/equipment but I still learning very basics on cheap knives.
Dings/chips on knives just from normal abuse, nothing serious from drops or crazy hacking.
2 hones I was looking at are these
