Hi everyone, ages since I posted so, in a way, happy to be here (again).
I wanted to ask for your advice regarding what 8k stone should I buy. Back in the day, when I decided I wanted to do my own honing, I got myself three Shapton Glass stones, 1k, 4k, and 16k. Shortly afterwards I realised I was missing an important step so I got myself another stone. This time I was a bit cheap and got a Wüsthof 3k/8k combo thinking it would do. Well, it doesn't, I really dislike this stone.
So I wanted to pick your brains on my next purchase. The obvious and logical thing to do would be to complete the progression and get another Shapton Glass, but I was wondering if there'd be other choices that would go well. There's people who swear by the Shapton Pros, others do so by the discontinued Choseras, so on so forth.
I'd be really grateful for your input on this matter, many thanks!
