So, I'm still a newbie owner of one dull, once well-honed (thanks to heavydutysg135), 9/16 solingen and a cheapy out-of-the-box Zeepk st8 (....yeah, I know it was a bad move now). I went out and bought two smaller whetstones (4x2) of the yellow belgian and blue belgian at this reasonably priced website: http://www.theperfectedge.com/belgian.shtml

My question is, were these stones too small and will I be frustrated trying to hone the unhoned st8 with these two stones? Should I get bigger stones? etc. I know that these are slow sharpening stones but will it be impossible. I've never honed before and plan on practicing on the zeepk then moving to touch up on the solingen once I have that under my hands (or over my face ).

Thanks for the info in advance. This is a fantastic community and I've learned a lot by poking around.
