My more plebian two and done stone setup would be Shapton glass/rockstar 500 and 2000. They really get the job done on most things.
Sharpening progressions with more than two stones in them are usually overkill.
https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/how-sharp-is-too-sharp.59694/post-914597I mean @cotedupy put us all to shame in the hanging hair test thread by passing the HHT off of a Shapton 120, presumably by letting it glaze over a bit and work more like something higher grit, and by decreasing the pressure.
Ageed. But, isn't that why we're here?
Only used that pair for one session doing all my knives, but perfectly happy with the edges, fast setup and cleanup. Will definitely get more rocks for the fun of it, but I think those two will be my restaurant regulars.My more plebian two and done stone setup would be Shapton glass/rockstar 500 and 2000.

Compact size makes them ideal traveling stones. They both fit together in a regular Shapton box. Carrier and stone holder all in one. It’s what I take to the in-laws and to air b bs.Only used that pair for one session doing all my knives, but perfectly happy with the edges, fast setup and cleanup.

It's willful at this point, though.I, shamefully, have never used a Washita... Despite growing up just up the road from all the novaculite comes from
Gotta have a top 3 deburring game for this setupCrystolon coarse
A very hard fast washita
This is all I use mostly unless I'm polishing.
Fine. Fine. Fine. Someone point me in the direction of a good one.It's willful at this point, though.
@captaincaed hook this man up with a washita. I know you have a trove of them stashed away like a squirrel dragon. LolFine. Fine. Fine. Someone point me in the direction of a good one.
See kids, bullying can be good
As far as smoking woods are concerned

I concede I haven't had mesquite in too long to remember what it tastes like.

Mesquite is definitely circumstantial! That said, my first night in Albuquerque I was given a paper plate of mesquite smoked carnitas tacos and a "welcome to town," and they are the standard by which I've benchmarked all carnitas since.I really like alder wood if you can find it.
Mesquite is very strong and spicy. Easy to overdo but it can add a bit of seasoning if you mix some pieces in with milder flavored wood.
A little Mesquite with Apple or Cherry is a good combo.I really like alder wood if you can find it.
