Hey All,
So I'm looking to get a fellow cooking friend set up with a fairly affordable stone set. I gifted the guy my old King 1200 stone (great stone for the money if you can deal with the mud and dishing....) and want to help steer him towards another high grit stone to buy. Price wise, there isn't a set budget but don't want to go crazy and recommend a $100+ stone. The guy is fairly frugal and as a result I'm trying to help him put together a really solid set that will put a very nice edge on his various knives (a Wustie, MAC Pro, Fuji FKM, Gesshin Uraku and a couple various White #2 and Blue #2).
I was thinking something along the lines of this for the whole set up
King 1200 --> High Grit --> Dave's 1u Diamond Spray on Balsa (letting him share mine)
Figure that should put a killer edge on most of his stuff for fairly cheap.....only issue is deciding on the High Grit stone. I have been considering the following:
King 6000
Suehiro Rika 5k
Arashiyama (Takenoko) 6k
?? (any others I should be considering)
Thanks!
