Thanks for the replies.
I watched the videos at Youtube: Chefknivestogo. It gives me a better idea of technique. He finishes with a 6000K stone. That seems sharp.
I'm also reading the article: 'Knife Maintenance and Sharpening - eG Forums'
The knives I have are Edelstahl stainless steel. The bolster goes to the edge and a little beyond. It is fairly thick. Is this a problem with sharpening?
Does someone know of a good place to buy hones. I will probably use a 1k at least and maybe some higher ones if I start sharpening razors.
