Hey guys,

http://straightrazorpalace.com/hone-...aterstone.html

This feels like beating a dead horse, but I am totally confused after reading through the review on the 4k/8k . I was seconds away from just ordering a stone, but am wondering about other options now.

I've been shaving for a couple months, have 2 razors that I've tried to get Shave-Ready using a King 1200 stone and stropping on newspaper. Is the Norton a good option if I'm also sharpening 10-inch kitchen knives?
