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.

That's what I have & it works fine. You don't really need the 3K--OK, maybe HAD might say differently.
Coming off the 1K, the 1st set of 40 circles & 10 x-strokes w/ light pressure AFAIK does pretty much what the 3K would do anyway.
