I kind of disagree on the suggestion of the 220 Norton. I have one and have occasionally used it on completely buggered blades but the thing is so soft that I think I actually make faster progress on the Norton 1000. I really should get a DMT 1200 for bevel setting but I already have a DMT 325 and a DMT 220 and I'd rather not spend 60 bucks on yet another DMT. I definitely will get one for bevel setting after I wear out my Norton 1000 in a couple more years.
