I've just received my new Shapton Glass stones and some SiC 60 grit powder. I'm not sure when I'll get to try them though, since all my knives (30 or so) are either new-in-the-box or fully sharpened. The Shaptons I got today are the SG120, SG220, SG500, and SG2k. I already had the SG320, SG1k, SG4k, and SG8k and the Shapton DGLP. The DGLP is recommended for flattening the SG500 and finer stones, and NOT recommended for the SG320 or coarser. I'm also looking for a Canadian source for finer grit SiC powders,,, 120/220 grit, and 500 grit. I've also got the Atoma 400 and 1200 plates, plus the large 220 Naniwa flattening plate, so it'll be quite a while before I get around to seeing how they all play with each other.
I've also got the Norton Waterstone 4-stone set; 220, 1k, 4k, 8k and the Naniwa Aotoshi Green Brick of Joy 2k., plus my Tormek with 100/1k 10" wet-wheel and Tormek stone grader, 3M micro-abrasive sheets,,,stropping compounds and more. (Chef's Choice TriZor and Wusthof hand sharpener) plus various butcher steels and Idahone ceramic honing rods., and still more. (Various bench-grinders with an array of wheels/abrasives.
I'm gonna need a bigger kitchen.
