Thread: Honing with a Shun kitchen knife whetstone

I am mostly concerned with honing a good razor every ~3-4 months, not talking about restoring old blades.

Thanks!

You could use the 12k Naniwa once a week or so & not be concerned about the other stones unless you have an accident & blade needs repair.
