I am looking to do a couple of things here;

I want to be able to maintain my edge on my straights,

I want to be able to restore an edge on older or damaged straights,

I want to be able to maintain an edge on my kitchen knives,

I want to be able to restore damaged edges on those poor steak knives that were abused by my other half,

My question to the honemasters here is, what is my best bet for stones to complete the above tasks?

I was looking at the Naniwa three stone set (5K 8K 12K) SRD has for $174.00

I was also looking at the Norton water stones that are combo's, I found a 3K/8K(SRD $90) and a 4K/8K(Classic shav $76)

There is the Naniwa 1K for $33 and a 12K for $74 both on SRD

Any help and or advice is welcomed....I would rather buy from one place if possible but will shop the best prices for my needs

Thanks
