Have you already got the norton combo ? If you haven't you might want to do what I did. Get the single grit 4k and single grit 8k. You have the 8x3 on the honing surface and if you want a narrow hone stand it on its side and you have a 1" hone. Another plus with that is the 8k is splash and go. No soaking required.

If there is a tile setter with a water saw within your reach they can cut that hone slick as a whistle. It can be done dry on a bandsaw but it will eat blades.
