- rdtwo 5y agoGet a sharpton 1000grit. The cheap king stones are really soft and are kind of a pain to learn on.
- AussieWog93 5y agoI actually have a cheap King stone (the 1000/6000 combo), but parent is right. 1000 grit gets you more than sharp enough for daily use while still being coarse enough to fix up a well-maintained knife in about 20-30 strokes per side. Higher grits make the knives too sharp, to the point where they're dangerous to handle, especially if you're cooking drunk/tired. (That's not to say I never use it, but it's always for fun at that point).
