Having recently gotten into the world of J knives I finally need to stop buying the knives and put some cash into maintaining them. I'm looking for a three stone set up (already have picked out a strop + compound) that will keep me happy for a long while.
I was thinking of Bester 500x (or 700x), 1000x (or 1200x), and Suehiro Rika 5k. Only reason I choose these is they seem to be pretty widely regarded as a good set up that won't break the bank.
Are these good choices? Is 700x enough to get edge chips out of knives that I will be practicing on (chicago cutlery, how I love you)? There is a 700x, 1000x, suehiro set that is a pretty good deal, is 700x - 1000x not a large enough gap?
Thanks for answering all the stone questions :happy2:
