Hi
I have been going to a specialist to get my japanese knives sharpened up.
I want to learn to sharpen my knives with a whetstone.
Budget:
I don't really have a budget; I just want the right gear (I've seen single whetstones online going for 300$ or less, that is fine for me)
I have nothing, as far as sharpening goes. I do not want to make my own equipment, I'd rather buy everything as-is and of good quality.
I'm looking for something like a 1000-2000 grit "medium" stone and 5000+ grit stone for polish, based on what I read?
I'm a total noob in this area, would love pointers.
All the other threads I've seen I either can't follow (too technical in regards with stones) or people that want a 50$ or less recommendation.
Thanks!

My daily knives at the moment:
