Hello all,
For a beginner would a 1000/6000 Japanese wet stone suffice?
"Deluxe Combination Waterstones are fired from aluminum oxide abrasive and carefully screened for consistant size mixed into a clay matrix."
Only concern I have is that it just 2" wide. They also have Norton 1000/4000 stones available (3" wide) but are over 2x the price!
Alternatively I can also get 800/8000 Ceramic hones......
