Hi. Have a question for you sharpening experts.
I'm looking to find an upgrade to my King 250/1000 Combo which I've had for years. It served me well back when my main knives were Wustofs and Sabs. My problem with my King Combo is that it's only 2 inches wide, and I feel very limited by its size, especially for my suji.
My current range of knives range from carbon [Masamoto HC, Sab] to PM [Kagero] to a couple of Molys, and a couple of cleavers, etc.
It seems like a lot of members on KKF are competent to expert sharpeners, with multiple stone setups. What I want is a recommendation, or insight into ONE STONE to adequately maintain my range of knivessince I don't see myself buying a whole collection of stones in the near future.
In reviews/posts I occasionally read remarks of certain stones that would be great for a ONE STONE, all around setup. Some of the stones I've seen recommended are:
Gesshin 2k
Gesshin 1k/6k Combo
Green Brick
Red Brick
Bester 1200k
I would greatly appreciate any advice or opinions on these stones [or one I've overlooked], since there is such a dizzying number of stones out there!
