I'll chip in a vote for the Shapton Pro 1.5K, I don't think it has been mentioned yet. I got rid of my King and picked the Shapton up a few weeks back. Grit wise it's rougher than the King 1K but it's hardwearing, fast, splash & go and makes short work of bevels.

Awesome thread for bevel setting stones for people just starting or looking to get started honing.
Have not been honing long myself but found out quickly from numerous Gssixgun posts that 90% of honing and/or restoration is an excellent bevel set.
Been using a King cuzz it was cheap and works OK for hollow grinds but just got my first really heavy wedge and man is it slow!! So now in the market for a good bevel setter with a little faster cut and this thread was invaluable in helping narrow my decisions!
Thanks to all who contributed info here, it helps a noob a lot!!

Haven't tried the King with a heavy slurry yet. I'll have to give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for the idea rodb!
