Hey all, I'm new to sharpening with whetstones and don't have a big understanding and I'm learning along the way.
Going to pick up my new carbon knife soon made from White #2 Santoku.
My question is. As a home cook that will use the knife at least 2-3 times a week. Do I need more than 1 stone? Will a stone that is 1000 or 2000 grit be enough along with stropping it before I use it every time?
I don't really understand this whole finishing stone or edge thing with higher grit stones.
Thanks
