    So far in honing I have used a few progressions....

    Norton 4k 8k (3in wide and 1.5 inch wide)

    Norton 1k, 4k, 8k, - White Arkansas stone

    Norton 1k, 4k, 8k - Yellow extra fine Coticule

    Norton 1k,4k,8k - Shapton 16k

    Norton 1k - Shapton 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k

    Shapton 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k

    Naniwa 1k, 3k, 5k, 8k, 10k, 12k

    I have other bevel setters, and low grit repair stones and a few barbers hones but those are not part of any progression....


    Pastes in my arsenal include:

    Dovo - Red & black
    Diamond paste .50 &.25 on leather
    Diamond spray .50 & .25 on felt
    CrOx on leather
    CeOx on leather

    I have no standard paste format, the only paste that I even think about being a universal one is the .50 CrOx I have never seen it have a bad reaction on a blade... I paste if, when, and how, I feel it is appropriate
