Oh, I think you're gonna have fun! I was on my Norton's for about 3 hrs yesterday with my Chef's knives.
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but please chamfer your sides (round them). Use your lapping plate for this under running water. It will save some heartache if a blade accidentally hits your stones' edge.
Good luck!
Also check the Norton lapping plate for flatness, mine wasn't. If it isn't, lap it on sandpaper on a known flat surface (counter top, glass etc)
I only have the 4K/8K and it works great. I will eventually get the 220/1K.
You can handle it. Use magnification and examine the blades before you do anything so you'll know what happened after you've honed. I recommend the Radio Shack Illuminated Microscope for about $12.
