    You can set a bevel on a 4k, but most guys are using a 1k (unless you buy new from the factory or similar).

    The two you have picked are solid hones. Any particular reason for the 10k instead of the 12k? (I'm just curious)

    Lack of knowledge mostly. Seemed like the next step from 8k but that's why I asked about the 12k figured if I could skip the 10k and go to 12k might be happier with the final product.

    To be totally honest, I didn't read the end of that line. And this is what I get... I asked a dumb question.

    You can go from the 8k to the 12k. You can also shave very comfortably off the 8k. Personally, I'd say don't go past the 8k until you're really happy with those shaves. Then play with a finisher.

    I love my Chosera 1k, but that may be expensive and/or overkill if you're not doing resto bevel setting. The SS1k is good, as is the Norton. I used a King 1k for a while and liked that, too.

    Why do they have a 10k if you can jump to 12, my assumption is other people are coming from different grits and that would be safer then a 12k for them.
