....Can a hone a straight?

Being a chef, I own, sharpen, hone, and maintain a decent size set of knifes. If they aren't sharp, I can't do my work. I'm fairly talented on a whetstone, and I've been wondering....should honing be fairly natural to me? and in that vein, can i use my 1000/6000 stone on a straight, or is the 1000 too coarse?
