As always i am turning to the forums for some help.
Currently i have and use these stones:
500 SHAPTON GLASS
1000 SHAPTON GLASS
4000 SHAPTON GLASS
8000 SHAPTON GLASS
Arashiyama
500 bester
800 King ( special note this is the best synthetic stone for kasumi as per DAVE and he is absolutely right)
I am fortunate enough to use a couple of NANIWA from my other chefs kit . The sushi chefs i work with at this concept now use a 3 stone progression but i am amazed to how much they don't flatten their stones. :bigeek:There is also a 30k glass stone from a chefs kit as well.
Here is the deal:
I want to reduce the stone set up into a 4 stone progression and would like to see the benefits of strops in sharpening and maintenance of my edges. I do not tell my knifes ever thus the lack of a honing rod .That doesn't mean it has to be a 4 stone set up though.
What do you have in your progression that you are extremely happy with that works well with carbon steels and stainless?I am open to suggestions on both synthetic stones and naturals. My interest in synthetics covers all the bases in a sense my interest in naturals is geared towards getting more up close to carbon steel single bevels.
So what do you think?
