Japanese Water Stones Appropriate for Honing?
I have some Japanese water stones (Combination Water Stones #800 #1000 #1200 #4000 #6000 #8000) I have kept in very good condition that I have been using over the years since boy scouts to sharpen my Helle Eggen and other outdoor survival knives. I have read your fine sticky post by OLD_SCHOOL on honing and his recommendations.
My question was for straight razor honing are these stones appropriate or will they do?
My process for sharpening my Helle usually goes #800 #1200 #6000 then I use the inside of my leather belt a as a strop and finally the edge of my car window a few times to finish it off but I am under the impression that straight razor honing is very different.
I'm thinking of re-honing my dovo soon (my first time) with the Japanese water stones #1000 #1200 #4000 #6000 #8000
Thanks ahead of time for the input and advice.
