Thread: Minimum kit for honing SRs

You WhiZ are much like the majority here, I too took to the razor stones after being a knife guy for so long, the skill is always good to have, saves time and $ (a small degree) anyway...

Hehe, I'm still GAGGING on the price of Gokumayo 20K and the Shaptons, Gag-Puke through the nose, Hack, spit, Whew........ On the flip side a friend is bringing me some stones from the ant-Arctic to play with.

For a budget kit, that you will not soon outgrow.

A King 1k, about $20
Norton 4/8k about $80, or
Naniwa 3/8k at $90
Specialty/Super Stone 12k for $82
and a stick of Chrome Oxide $14.

Not much difference between the 4/8 and 3/8k in performance.

You could upgrade to a Norton, $46 or Chosera 1k, $82, but performance would still be about the same as a King.

But really, a Norton 4/8 or Naniwa 3/8 and some Chrome Oxide and you are good.
