If someone asked you to put a starters kit!!!
If someone asked you to put a comprehensive starters stones kit (daimond plate, bevel setter, prefinisher, and finisher)
What you will suggest based on your experience, stones that you owned and honed with, of course the cheaper the better since it's a starters kit.
The other day while sorting through my stones, I thought what if someone asked that question because he isn't interested in buying over 70 stone or so...
I know that there is lots of posts talking about the same subject, but here I would like you to mention whatever you think is good based on your experience for a starter not what everybody else says...
I would choose:
Atoma 400, cost 70$
King 1k/6k, cost 35$
Koppa Ozuku Asagi 5+, cost 70$
175 - 200 $ is a very reasonable cost for a starters kit in my opinion, also the stones aren't too difficult to use and the natural finisher is always a plus.
