Hello everybody,

I decided it's time to stop lapping my stones with other stones + getting a coarse stone for chipped knifes & razors...
So what better way to go than diamond...?

So I did my research and ended up with more questions...
I'm on a budget - 75$ including shipment, which makes it about 30-35$ for the stone.
The main purpose will be lapping, but then I read on the DMT site that it's not recommended to lap with anything but the dia-flat. So I looked at that, saw it costs over 200$ and figured I'd rather start shaving with a DE or send my knifes and razors to a professional.

So I have 3 main questions:
1. Can I lap with the dia-sharp or the non-continuous model? I lap very rarely.. 1 stone every 1-2 months...
2. which one should I get..? The non-continuous one is much chipper - but will it work..?
3. Which grit? I have a 1K, 4K (Kings) and two Irish slates, ~8K and ~12K. As for the sharpening purposes, it'll use only to restore chipped blades, mainly kitchen knifes and eBay SRs..

Thank you!
