For beginners, I would recommend the Naniwa Super stones. They can be purchased as a kit, with the proper hones. Like 1000,5000,8000, and12000.
Look online ..Imperial shave Medina Ohio. That's our SRP store. Look under " sharpening center" in the menu. Its a lot cheaper than buying them individually. Again...you'll need a lapping stone, and a holder for the hones.
Definitely learn as much as possible, before you try honing.
Its not something easily learned over night.
Its also a bit of an initial investment, buying hones. But if your serious about it, they are a must have, thing.
I also recommend a 40X loupe, as well.
Much to be learned, young Jedi.! Only long hours and training, will strengthen the force you so desire.
