Okay, a few general parameters:
Looking at: https://www.japaneseknifeimports.co...s-and-combo-stones/products/gesshin-stone-set
Besides a stone holder, do I really need a 'sink bridge' or nagura stone (for slurry)? I plan on flattening the stones with sandpaper and granite.
Are these good permasoak waterstones? Anything else similar I should consider? Thought about an 800 (1k) and 4K option as well. Doubt I will need to reprofile and polish out chips on my kitchen knives but, I could see some thinning on pocket knives or fixed 'field' blades.
TIA!
- Over $~200 probably won't happen anytime soon
- Perma-soak or splash-n-go seem to be equally acceptable options
- Will be used on VG-10, Japanese carbon, SAK (pocket knife), and similar.
