Hello all,

I'm considering trying my hand at a restoration and honing.

I have a 1K and 4K stone that has served me very well for carving knives and such and I'm wondering if I can set the bevel and sharpen on the 1K and 4K and then jump to a coarser compound before going to 0.5 micron CrOx and then stropping, rather than buying an 8K 12K stone?

Your thoughts?
