I would recommend the Norton 220/1000K. The 220 grit isn't normally recommended for razor, but if you are repairing chips this grit works great. The 1K will take care of small chips, but anything bigger than a 16th you're going to want the 220grit.

Thanked: 4400/1000 DMD Double Sided Diamond Professional Knife Sharpening Stone Sharpener | eBay
A 400/1000 diamond plate from an Australian company with a stone holder. Works out at about £54 including delivery to the UK.
As I know nothing about diamond plates and the good ones from eBay, what are people's thoughts on this one?
Naniwa 1k is about £42.
Norton 220/1k is about £40 but OOS.
Shapton M5 ceramic(?) Is £45.
I think it might be easier to put the names in a hat and pull one out

Thanked: 3795I disagree. While the Norton 1k (not 1000k) is an acceptable bevel setter, there are better options. The most notable is the naniwa chosera 1k. The Norton 220 is borderline useless. Yes it is a lower grit but it makes a muddy mess and cuts slowly while doing it. It is not a viable repair hone for razors.
