Any tips for first time user?

Can anyone help? I'm wanting to get a wet stone but a bit confused by all the options and grits. I'm not sure if either the king 1k/6k or the shapton 1k. Any help would be appreciated! For reference this is my pocket knife https://heinnie.com/ontario-old-hickory-outdoors-folding-knife/

Hello, does anyone know what these brown stones are made of? Or what they are used for? Thank you

Help advice confused! I work as a cook in the kitchen. I have a tojiro vg-10 knife for cutting meat and vegetables. I want the knife to be sharp and stay sharp for a long time. I am sharpening this knife with a shapton 1k stone do I need a finishing stone to make the knife sharper ? And if I buy a finishing stone, will it be sharper but will not keep sharpness?

Please help ! What stone is good Shapton pro 5000 or suehiro rika 5000? I have Shapton pro 1000

Simple as that. Width must be minimum 2”. Thanks!

Gatco Ultimate Diamond System + Extras

I have a Gatco Ultimate Diamond System. The stone I tested was the Ultra Fine hone. Kit contents:

• GATCO exclusive six-angle knife clamp/angle guide, insures a precision honing action
• Coarse monocrystalline diamond hone
• Medium monocrystalline diamond hone
• Fine monocrystalline diamond hone
• 1200 grit ceramic finishing hone, for the ultimate finish edge
• Special serrated knife hone
• Custom case with easy to follow instructions permanently affixed to lid

Additionally I have the Easy-Grip Clamp Mount and the Fine Serrated Knife Hone. (I do appear to be missing the honing oil, not sure I ever actually had it. It is available on Amazon and I'm sure many other places.)

Price - $60 + shipping

My zip code is 80020. Happy to meet anyone within a reasonable distance if you happen to be local.

I prefer lower grit edges. It’s still in great shape. Works just how it should.

$75. Thanks for looking!
