    I use the 1 to set the bevel if necessary and the 3 and 5 for sharpening. IME the 8 is enough for polishing but of course you can go beyond that with a 10 or 12 and I often do. Just IMO.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    SRD sells the 5k-8k-12k as a set so I take that as some sort of recommendation from the experts.

    Anyway, I bought that plus the 1k.
