Just ordered the nan's and talked to Don I got the three pack special 5k 8k 12k and then got the 1k also, Don recommended the 1k in addition because I'm setting bevels on restored blades. If you aren't setting bevels from scratch they told me the three pack is just right. Haven't personally used them yet but Don also told me that is what Lynn mostly uses now. Great price for What you get. He did say they should be lapped before use so a lapping stone might be a good idea to.
P.S. I think you are making allot of guy's jealous with a wife that supportive. I mean come on she even has a killer sweet avatar.
