I'm looking for sharpening stones for my kitchen knives. I have a mix of western and Japanese knives. I'm currently using a cheap 2000/5000 combo wet stone. Since I like maintaining my straight razors with an awesome little coticule, my preference would be for natural stones for my knives.
I lap using silicon carbide powder, if that makes any difference, and I don't think I need to go sharper than 6000 or 8000 grit.
Any recommendations? I would rather not spend over $100 if I can help it, but would like more surface area to work with than my 2.5x7" combo stone.
