    Default shapton 2000 ceramic waterstone

    i have a shapton 2k waterstone that i have just rediscovered that come with a set of sushi knives, would this be any use for honing razors?
    i have used it to sharpen the knives but that was ages ago hence it being forgotten about so if i could utilise it with my razors aswell that would be cool, if not i might try shaving with my sushi knives!!

    It might be ok to remove oxidation and big nicks but it sounds a little low in grit for shaving off of.

    2k is a good starting point for kitchen knives (ok I start at 2k for my knives...) and as stated above, unless your fixing a small glitch that is.

    My Low stone is the 1200 king and it only sees the razors after I set a new bevel from the DMT 320. Otherwise I only used the 4/8k and 6k stones, pasted strop and hanging to finnish.

    The Shapton 2k is a good stone, hang on to it.
