I lerned to hone on my Naniwa SS stones too, and they where good learning stones In my opinion.
So my answer would be that it is a good idea!
If the price isnt too high, but we are not really allowed to discuss that here.
If you eventually want to learn to hone, I would recomend bying a combo stone, with 10K on one side. That will reduce the total cost of your hone set, because you will need at least 3+ different grit sizes...
Good luck!
